Another long day of detailing for me! :buffing:


After doing my BF's car last weekend i decided it was time to give my own car a shot at looking like a million bucks. The car had pretty significant swirling due to numerous dealership washes, nothing i couldnt handle though!

I started off with a meg's APC+ presoak to loosen up everything, and then washed it. Claying afterwards was nothing too surprising... it had quite a bit of contamination. For correction went with the XMT series, did xmt2 on a LC orange, followed up by xmt1 on a LC white. My LC orange exploded on the 2nd to last panel, makes me really sad because it was only used once prior to this :( The velcro backing separated from the the pad, and the pad went flying! Thankfully i felt it coming and was able to pull the pc away so it didnt touch the paint padless. After correction i put a layer of xmt carnauba finishing glaze on, and topped it with collinite 845IW. tires and trim got dressed with Poorboy's bold n bright, and glass was taken care of with stoner invisible glass. The color reminds me a lot of my tC, really nice metallic flake when it's cleaned up properly!

Good job!

How long did it take you for the entire process?
 
about 6 hours. xmt 1 took the longest of everything. I wasn't getting the cut I remembered from the past with it. really happy with xmt2 on an orange though!

I do need to invest in a lug nut brush. My old tC had exposed lug nuts and they were really easy to clean. This car though... They're inset into the wheel, so i could do anything with them :( Also, i think i need 19's haha. I cant clean the inside of the wheel at all because the brakes are so big!

The lug nut brush is nice to get into the deep sockets of the wheel.

Just remember the standard wheel size is 17's on 335 without any packages. Imagine cleaning them.
