Thanks for the copliments, This has been 5 years of all winter detailing.I have my car at my pest control company when I'm not killing I'm detailing. Every winter I will spend at least 100 hours on it. All the control arms, half shafts were sanded then I used Wenol red on them ,then a product called Bush polish to get a crome like look. I havent even started yet this year it still has road grim on it . :thumbsup:http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q105/Usa1-Zr1/1993%20RUBY%20ZR-1/HPIM2049.jpghttp://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q105/Usa1-Zr1/1993%20RUBY%20ZR-1/HPIM2017.jpg

Great detail. Now I want to do mine in the Winter. What is Wennel red and Bush Polish???

[Usa1-Zr1]

Ralph , Corvette Central has both products the Wenol is $9.95 it will be in a tube like tooth paste, Then Bush is $12.95 in a bottle it will be the last step have fun..

Wow....nice....now run out there in the world and get yourself
a life....:D really...it's normal to polish the underneath of your
car 100 hours in the winter...ask my wife...here's how she put
it to me..."LET me get this Straight" "you"re cleaning underneath
the car where no one can see it",??? :sign10:

really nice job...:-D

[guinnessdood]

Bush Polish???

Bush Polish...hmmm....I've heard of waxing your dolphin...but never polishing your bush...LOL!

[Usa1-Zr1]

Nice looking car!

[ralph92ZR1]

Thanks for the info. Ordered both. Guess I'll have a busy 3 months of Winter.

[Usa1-Zr1]

Ralph you will look like this in no timehttp://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q105/Usa1-Zr1/1993%20RUBY%20ZR-1/HPIM2113.jpg

[Usa1-Zr1]

Thanks 93 Ruby Z :cheers: what # is yours??

[RICKYRJ1]

Great Job!! Did you wet sand the parts w/1500/2000? What did you use to apply the Wenol or Bush? Thanks for setting a high standard. wax On!:cheers:

[Usa1-Zr1]

If the part dosen't have a deep scratch , some will. I used a maroon scotch bright then after all deep scratches were gone,I used a med grade scotch bright with the Wenol on it.Then to get the crome like finish used the Bush with a thick sock. Detail work like this takes time & a little of the right product, dont think you can do the whole car in a afternoon, i have been at mine for 5 years I might spend 4 or 5 hours on 1 small part. Set small goals to have a singel part to look perfect. Then the next time you have a couple hours do only 1 more soon it will start to look great now get them fingers going..;)
