So I took advantage of the long weekend, I finally did what I would call my first full detail ever. I used to own a pos forf escort (not worth detialing!). This is what I did:

Washed(meguiars gold class), & dryed
Clayed(pinnacle ultra clay and lube)
PB Spray and wipe on door jams and trunk
Washed & dryed
Polished (PB SSR1)
Sealed PB EX-P (1 coat)
Waxed (PB Natty's Blue)

I polished by hand with the polishing pal, my arms still hurt, time to buy a PC :D

Wheels:
PB BnB
DP Wheel Cleaner
DP Wheel Glaze

Lexol on the leather interior
303 on all interior vinyl and interrior/exterior weather stripping

For my first time it took a long looong time, but the results were good. Still have some swirls and scratches so next time Ill step it up to PB SSR 2.5 or XMT3. Enjoy the pics :righton:

Very nice work.

I did my car by hand this weekend too and have already put in a requisition for a PC with my home accountant. She say's November, but we'll see about that!

Very nice job! I love those Poorboy products! I bought the kit with the PC and I apply all products apart from Natty's Blue by machine.

But you've got me thinking now about getting that polishin pal, it will make applying the Natty's Blue a whole lot easier...
 
Outstanding job. You will get faster and better over time. :applause: Don,t forget the fender wells.
 
Yea, I had taken the tires off to glaze the complete rim, and had put them back on by the time I gave thought to the fender wells. Adding that to the checklist to do before the tires go back on!
 
Great work!!! I love the reflection shots. Such pretty trees where you live!

:iagree: The grey polishing pal pad is great for applying wax!
 
Thanks for all the great comments. Im happy to see that for the first time out, I ended up with a good result (that said it is a new car so it shouldnt be surprising).

But I still have so much still to learn, and looke forward to the enxt detail and even better results!
