- Washed down again with CGCW (to remove all oils)
- Black Fire Wet Diamond by hand (allowed to cure over night)

Nice! I love the color, but it can be a bit difficult to make sure you have covered all areas. I suggest taking your time and masking off the areas you are working on and setting up a pattern to work around the car IE start on the hood, then the right fender, right door, etc and make sure to have a good light source since AW hides imperfections pretty well! Good luck

Thank you! I purchase all my equipment at at Detailed Image, Greg is very helpful and great to deal with!

Also a big THANK YOU to Envious Eric for suggesting this combo to me, I really like how it worked out! I am no pro by any means, and continue to learn each day something new. If any one in Orlando needs any detailing done, please let me know I will post pics this weekend of a Z06 I have coming in on Saturday
