First spring cleaning for 505, with pics!

[505zoom]

Alright some of you know that my car was garaged for a year until last september, and I never got around to giving it a full detailing over the winter. It was a balmy 70 degrees here today, so I decided it was time to clean it up proper style.

Started with a zaino wash, and dryed with my awesome excel MF towels.

Then I hit the trunk and front bumper with a porter cable, using PB SSR2.5 and a excel green pad. Followed that up with SSR1 and excel blue, did the whole car. Then I put on a fresh coat of Zaino Z2 by hand, and buffed with an excel grey. Washed again, then used the Dyson to vacuum the whole car (including trunk).

I then washed the wheels with Blue Coral, and hit the tires with some Black Magic. Wheels then got Zaino'd by hand.

NXT Tech Protectant on all interior panels, and Zaino Z12 on all the glass.

Wiped down everything under the hood with microfiber and quick detailer, then polished the new pipes with Mothers.

Barely got done before dark, so I didn't get many finished pics in the full sun, so I will snap some more tomorrow and add them.

Turned out absolutely stunning in person, here are the shots:

edit - few more from today:

Not jealous?... pssshh. If Tony was sitting there in shorts laughing it up in 70 degree hotness while I was sitting here bundled up in single digit temps, I would be jealous.
