Nice appearance mod, very easy!
 
I don't have pics because my digital camera sucks and can't focus on these tiny car bodies.

It's pretty simple though, take some Mequiers Deep Crystal System car polish, dap a tiny bit on the corner of a towel. use the tip of your finger to rub in the polish on your ZZ car's body, then wipe it off before it dries. Do small sections at a time!! Then enjoy yours car's new sparkly and brilliant shine.

I don't think Radio Shack "finishes" these cars paint from the factory, because the before and after difference is amazing, try it and you'll see. Oh and someone with a better digital camera, please take some before and after pictures, pleeeease!!

Cool! Finally got some show car shine on these babys!

Or, take the time and repaint your body and add a clear coat doing a wet sand between each layer of clear.

FordTrucktexan 04-12-2004 12:46 PM

You -could- do that too but even then the top layer of clear will most likely (unless it's a really high grade) dry with tiny dimples in the finish, called orange peel. Only way to work it out is fine wet sanding and, get this, polishing.

Yeah, i've just done that with one of my cars, but if you're looking for quick and easy, any car polish will make a difference.

Maybe I should clay bar it too. :rolleyes:

spamman 04-12-2004 08:04 PM

dude, i know you're kidding, but clay bar works wonders for a real car... i'm sure i'd eat the paint on your zz :D

Sawblade 04-13-2004 08:48 PM

Clay bar would work on MY zz. It's painted and clearcoated. :D

I do have a clay bar for my truck. As a matter of fact, me and fordtrucktexan know each other from Ford Truck World already.

Yeap :) Maybe I should bring my ZZ's to the next FTW gtg, the Camaro is yet to be beat.
