Cool Detailed my car today
Took 6+ hours. Used Mr. Clean Auto-Dry Car Wash to wash the car then followed it up with Ibiz Waterless Wash/Wax Polish (95% polish, 5% wax). Then the Ibiz Car Wax (95% wax, 5% polish). Touched up the black trim with Mothers Back to Black.

Here are the results:







Interior:





Was wondering if anyone else uses this Ibiz stuff. I usually get it at a local yearly trade show event and is endorsed by the Corvette Club of America. I've been using it on my GM vehicles for the past 5+ years.

I had no idea. No wonder they were on clearance last year.
I had a few stocked up in my garage.

I used a Canon SX40HS to take the pics. Just simple cropping/touch up with Adobe Photoshop CS2.

Were the mudflaps from the factory or "dealer add-ons?" Not huge on them either. I had them on my '89 Z24 and they came stock with the car. They even had the Z24 logo on them.

Looks much cleaner with them off. If you drive your car in winter be sure to throw those back on when the snow starts flying, they will save your paint from getting "sandblasted" by salt and ice.

Shouldn't have to worry about that. I drive my Z24 in the winter and my wife's Jeep Liberty when there is snow on the road. Trying to keep this thing as mint as I can.
