Detail: Black WS6 TA

The owner is trying to sell this TA, so he wanted it cleaned up before hand. It is a 2001 Ram Air Trans Am with heads/cam/nitrous making in the neighborhood of 600 rwhp.

It was so cold when I started that sheets of ice were forming on the spoiler.

The lighting wasn't the best, so the pictures aren't my best.

Engine:
Optimum APC agitated with Meguiar's spoke brush
Armor All Tire Foam
Final Wipedown

Exterior:
Optimum APC wheels & wells
Eagle One A2Z on tires
Meguiar's NXT wash
Zaino Z18 claybar w/ NXT soap lube
Poorboy's SSR 2.5 via light cut pad
Klasse AIO via polishing pad
Zaino Z2 Pro
Zaino Z8
Armor All Tire Foam in wells
Meguiar's Natural Shine on tires

Before:



After:







Thanks for looking.

Question/Comments?

With Zaino, you don't need a shaded area as it can be applied in the sun. You also don't need experience, really, it's pretty damn simple.

This was after my first time to Zaino my car:

The pictures above are the result of proper prep work. The Zaino was just icing on the cake.

One can't expect to just "Zaino" a car and make it look like that.
