Black Zaino'd

This is a pass down car from my father, never been detailed or wax. The stealership always washed it before it got picked up. It's been in a few accidents, not in the best shape interior and exterior, but I guess it's not too late to start.

Started my process around 7pm last night, had dinner, stopped around 4am this morning and thought I did enough to call it a day.

Z7
clay
Z7
ZPC
Z5P w/ zfx x3
Z6

then woke up this afternoon and put on Z8. took some indoor pictures, most of them have white specs on the paint? what is that.

pics: (hopefully it'll show up)








hopefully can take some pictures out in sunlight when weather permits.

is it metallic paint? could just be reflection from the flash.

or it might just have a lot of crap on it and needs to be clayed.

get a plastic bag
put your hand in it
run your hand down the quarter panel
if you feel a lot of bumps, the car needs a claying.

If it's jetblack shouldn't have those specs. Take some outdoor pics when you can.
