So i spend about three days completly detailing my personal car. Just a little background on me I have been a member of the autogeek forum for about a year and half. Ive been detailing cars since i was 16 (by no means a professional detailer but have learned a lot trough the years). I have detailed a lot cars from hondas all they way too a Lambo Murcielago. Before i go into showing the pics I am going to give you a step by step process of how I detailed my car. Any tips will be greatly appreciated

WHeels and tires
Used Mother tire and wheel cleaner
Wheel brush and tire brush


Wash
1. Rinsed car
2. Autogeek foam gun with DP Extreme Foam
3. Then with the two bucket wash system i hand washed the car with Pinnacle body work shampoo using the DODO juice wookie fist.
4. Used another mitt for the lower part of the car and then used two seprate auto sponges for wheels tires and wheel wells
5. Used the Foam gun one more time
5. Sheeted the car and used a leaf blower to dry the car.
6. Used DP Waterless wash to clean door jams trunk and Engine Bay

DROVE THE CAR AROUND THE DRIVE WAY TO CLEAN ROTORS

Wheel Detailing
1. Dried the wheels with leaf blower and tires
2. Sparyed some Meguiars synthetic wax spray to get remaing dirt of the wheels and rust from the rotors
3. Used some Swissvax wheel wax love the stuff

Paint Work
1. PC with a 5.5 orange pad with Megs 105 to remove some swirls well atleast the ones I could find
2. Polished the paint with a 5.5 white pad used Megs 205
3. Finished off with Pinnacle SS2 wax 2 coats
4. Dressed the tires with Swissvax tire dressing

Interior
Vaccumed with Metrovac Vac n Blow fullsize
Cleaned leather and vinyle with Pinnacle cleaner
Dressed Vinyle with Pinnacle rubber and vinyle protectant
Conditioned Leather with Pinnacle leather conditionar

Now for pics

Yeah I was going to see my old man and when I was leaving thought the car looked nice so I snapped a few pics. My dad taught me a lot about detailing so I know he wouldn't mind hahahhaa.

Car looks stunning, love the light blue tint in the paint, atleast it looks like it in some of the pics. Also the wheels, I've said it once and I'll say it again, BEST LOOKING STOCK WHEELS EVER! This is NOT opinion, its FACT! Find me another set that look better from the factory......go ahead, I'll wait.....and wait.....and wait.....
