[Rydis]

thanks! I realized some of the pics still had streaks, I did go back and give the car another good wipe down afterwards .

Optimum Car Wash
Meguiars Clay Bar
ONR

Meguiars 205 with CCS Orange Pad
Mez 85rd CCS Gray Pad
Right side of Hood is SSII Paste Wax
Rest of the Car is WG Fuzion

1 Coat of WG Black Tire Gel on Tires
WG Carpet Restorer and Meguiars APC+ on carpets and Seats and dash
Pinnacle Leather Conditioner to finish the seats.
DP Glass Cleaner for Windows.

Didn't get around to use PB Natural Trim or Colinate 850 for the rims. Friend said she never seen it look so good which was good, though with more time I think it could of been much better. Was kind of hesitate as I hear alot of people get micro-marring on Honda paint, but I had no such problem when all was done. Didn't touch the roof as well, just washed and waxed.

And yeah, its a very pretty car..much better then my cobalt lol.

I love this shot, and detailing in Fla in the middle of summer can pose some challenges, like the water drying on the car before you can dry it! I find that either early morning, late night, or an overcast day is the only way to detail in the summer!

Me too, thanks! I think hood shots are great at showing reflections.

yeah, I had to frequently spay the car again and again to keep it trying. Probably best investment for the foam gun lol. Its also while I followed the claying with ONR, though I still dried it afterwards.

Basically kept taking soapy water out of the clean bucket to fill the bottle. Worked out pretty well improvising. Dont think ill do it again without some sort of tent though. Wish it had been overcast all day, sadly on late afternoon.
