Slowly but sure getting the 94 paint correction process done to the best of my ability and satisfaction. Finally minimizing most of the swirls and surface scratches that were on the Z when purchased over 2 years ago.
There are still some "nicks" in the paint which will get addressed at a later time. I know we have some very pristine original paint jobs here on the forum, but for being the 7th owner and being an original "captured test fleet" vehicle for its first 2 years, I think it has survived quite nicely. Also the painted top is going back on and will probably put the glass top up for sale.

This is what I have done in the last two years time permitting. I recommend a total clay (bar) of the car. If you have any swirls or surface scratches like I did, then you will need to use a buffer with the micro fiber (or very soft surface) pads, for the following steps. I will not use a wool pad, as I don't have the experience to do so, those pads are better left for the professionals to use. I use a paint correction polish, then rub off by hand.....then use a paint polish on top of that and remove by hand, or you can use a foam pad for removal. Depending on the results, you may feel the need to repeat the process once again, or maybe another or so depending on the condition of your paint. Once that is done, I have found a new product (always finding new products.....lol) and that is Turtle JET BLACK Spray Detailer and JET BLACK Spray Wax. I have used and still have enough different brands of polishes and waxes to last me 3 life times....lol, but to date I really like the Turtle products especially for black or very dark colored vehicles. I tried to use the Turtle Detailer with the buffer, did not like the results, so strictly by hand. And use the softest Microfiber cloths you can find, no terry towels at all on the paint. They will leave very fine surface scratches in the paint. I found that Costco sells the Yellow ones (very soft) and I imagine other retailers have them too. From here on, everything is done by hand. Turtle JET BLACK Products mention how they will fill and help eliminate swirls and scratches, of course I fall for all that merchandising lol, but I also feel that it does work. You can put on as many applications as you want with the spray products and it just seems to get better each time. No, not every mark has been eliminated from my paint, but from where it was and to what it is now, I am very happy. After all, it is a true survivor, and I am very satisfied with that. You may also already know what I have mentioned here, but since I'm now retired, wanted to keep my fingers busy......lol Quote:

 Out for coffee a few weekends ago, finally took the roof off for the first time, didn't get around to it at all last summer when I bought the car.
