Gonna give it the Zaino treatment this Saturday. (I've had awesome results with it as opposed to using carnuba wax.)
Wash with dawn, claybar the whole thing to get rid of rail dust and surface contaminants, then a couple coats of Z2 Pro.
These cars REALLY need to be clayed before being waxed or polished for the first time. I clay bar'd and polished the front bumper last night just to get a quick coat on for bug protection.....was smooth as glass when I finished.
The Zaino is really gonna make the SOM paint pop! I'll post up some pics of the results.

However, I stopped selling and using it almost as quickly as I started using it..... It was one of those MLM programs.....
Anyway, back to good old elbow grease for me and my cars always look good.....
to chevyhhr.net Quick97TA...you've just joined the best forum on the internet for anything HHR. Another Sunburst Orange Metallic...good choice of color...but then again, I'm a little biased. Look forward to seeing you around the boards and seeing pics of your HHR.
My boyfriend details cars for a living, so he does whatever magic they do and I'm very pleased. The HHR's sure do look nice when they are all shined up.

Started working on it today, washed it and clay bar'd the whole car...then added one coat of Z5 polish. The surface is smooth as glass now....will look even better when I get another coat on.
We just picked up the car Wednesday night, had 6 miles on it. Now it's up to 124. This is a great little car!

If your into a deep wet shine that is easy to do & get, and no problems. Check out a company call Showstopper. www.showstopperwax.com I kid you not, best shine around for your car....
