2003/2004 Sonic Blue Cobra by ZAXJAX

[zaxjax]

DonkeyTuna dropped off his Sonic Blue Cobra to detail before he sells. The original plan was to spruce it up to look good. After a good wash, I couldn't just spruce it up. It was previously detailed I assume judging by the buffer trails on the whole car. Plans changed after seeing that, and I couldn't give Mike his car back looking like ass.

Wash with foam gun and Chemical Guys Citrus Gloss Wash

Meguiar's Clay

Rotary and PFW with Menzerna Power Finish

Rotary and white pad with 106FF

PC with 106FF on a blue pad

Collinite 845 by hand for winter protection

M105 for the exhaust tips

Stoner's on the windows

Klasse AIO on all black trim and dressed with Hyper Dressing

Simple Green on the tires and wheels / dressed with Hyper Dressing

Engine bay detailed with Simple Green and various brushes / dressed with Hyper Dressing

Enjoy!

It was kind of hard to pick up the buffer trails

Looks like a good turn-around!

Nice work!

I bet he changes his mind about selling it!

That engine bay looks better than brand new - it looks clean enough to eat off of. How long did it take you under the hood?

He may just keep it, I hope!

Under the hood took me the better part of an hour

Nice job Zaxjax!

Thanks Sim!

The owner and I grabbed a cup of coffee up the street and met up with some other car guys. The local police stopped by and checked us all out, and gave us the thumbs up. He was parked right down the street hiding after seeing 4 Mustangs, one Cobra, my 335i and two Vettes.
