Detailed My 97 Rio Red Cobra

[greasy]

This has been much needed as I neglected the car all summer and I am finally getting around to it this year. I took my time with it running into the garage when I had a few spare minutes away from the wife and kids.

- Soak with Foam Gum
- 2 Bucket Wash
- Clay Bar with 3M Perfect-It & Ultima Waterless Wash
- Meguiar's Mirror Glaze Fine-Cut Polish 2 w/ Orange Pad @6K PCDAP (First time working with this polish and I love the results. It has a cut rating of 5 and is very easy to work with. It does dust pretty well, but what doesn't.)
- Mezerna Final Polish II w/ White Pad @ 5K PCDAP
- Poor Boys Natty's Paste Wax Red
- Collinite 845 Insulator Wax

Wheels are washed, just need to polish and wax them.

Thank you, Rio Red rocks!

I have used Poor Boys, Optimum, Klasse, Mezerna, Pinnacle, Meguiars, and Chemical Guys products. The only Zaino stuff I have used is the leather conditioner. Is there anything that you would recommend from the Zaino line?

Much appreciated Noreast! The car has low miles, so the paint is in really good condition.

Thanks Sublime!

what tires? and what springs?

They are the Late Model Restoration Springs, the front driver's side spring is cut 1/2 coil and the front passenger's side spring is cut 5/8 coil. I cut the passenger side a little bit more to level the car out. I was going to leave the rears, but I am going to cut a full coil off of the rears next year. I also need to get 1/2" spacers for the rear wheels.

I am running Potenza RE760 Sport 255/40R17's in the front and Nitto 555R 315/35R17's in the rear. Next year I will be swtiching the the NT05R's in the rear as I have no issue blowing the 555R's off. :rolling:

Came out awesome, gorgeous car greasy

Thanks uberstang!
