    2001 Ranger Detail came out OK

    I just got done with my first detail on my 2001 Ranger. Steps were

    Wash
    Clay
    SSR2 on very bad water spots on hood and roof
    SSR1
    4 Coats Zaino Z2 with ZFX
    Z6 Gloss enhancer between coats
    Wheel Wax and Meg’s Endurance High Gloss

    It looks good, but I don’t think it has the head turning pop that most of the cars I see posted have. Is there anything else I can do to get that look or is a Ford Ranger just not going to look that good?

    Some reflection, but not the mirror look most people here seem to get.

    You got mirror - keep in mind color plays a lot as well since it`s blue (it is blue right) it will not reflect as well as say a black will it looks poppy to me!

    (P.S. - I think Ford must put the worst paint on the ranger, my roomate has a black one I experiment on and at it`s best it does not pop like a black infiniti or even a black f-150!)

    A man suffering from a mental disorder went to see his psychiatrist, wearing only saran wrap. when his psychiatrist saw him she said "i can clearly see your nuts"

    the reason for me saying this is, i can really see that your nuts too... or blind. thats really head turning, and if your asking about the reflective thing, its all about color. black will reflect more than blue. its like trying to compare a asian with a latino.... two different things that are hard to compare. very sweet and zesty job!

    Thanks for all the positive feedback. I guess it does look pretty good. My next car will have to be black so I can see if I can turn it into a mirror.
