Xoutpost.com - Detailer's Domain: Black Z06 and Swissvax Mystery

This car is a beast, it looks so nice in person, love it. In black even better!

After the wash and clay we were left with a clean surface take a look at the imperfections (sorry lighting was very poor)

Unfortunately this was our best 50/50 shot (this should be after Menzerna Super Intensive Polish followed by Menzerna Top Inspection wipe down/finished with Menzerna PO85rd and then once again wiped down with Menzerna Top Inspection)
