Well, I had a long drive to get this one done.

I guess I started around 10am friday morning. Hooked up the hose, and pulled everything out to get ready.

Tires and rims

I used Duragloss 901 soap (Thanks Sparkie), a wheel brush and the 16' deep reach wheel brush to get in between the rim openings.
Wolfgang Black Diamond Tire Gel went onto the tires with a foam app.

The engine

Foamed up the engine, let sit for a min. then hosed it off. Wiped excess water off, then sprayed with tire foam. Started engine, let run for a few min. turned off then wiped off excess foam residue.

The Wash

Duragloss 901 soap, and the Shmitt. I used the AG foam gun, so I foamed up the 300. Then washed a panel, refoamed then clayed it. Did this to the whole car, gave it a good rinse. Then Jimmie showed up, and gave me a hand drying Meghan's ride. We used the Cobra ww drying towels, and TC towels for the door jams/trunk ledge/and under hood.
He also wiped the excess water off the rims. Then Max came out and took Jimmie away.

The Gameplan

I pulled out the PC, some Optimum Polish and a low profile org pad. And started out on the front left fender. Then a section at a time, later on Meghan comes out and said are you done yet. I'm like nope( in my mind I am thinking did they ask picasso if he was done painting the mona lisa) it takes some time to make it right. Once the 300 was all polished up. Meghan wanted me to put a special new wax on for saturdays detailfest.
She gave me a jar of Wolfgang Fusion, and said use this. By this time Jimmie came back out and was willing to help out. I told him Meghan gave me a super secrete wax to put on her ride. So I started to put it on the rear left fender and kept going. Jimmie wiped if off with a Cobra Super-Plush Deluxe MF.

You might have seen some of these photos already. I wanted to put the process for everyone.

Now for some Bling

That looks great, I'm still deciding if I should buy Fusion. I just don't have the time for waxing and detailing lately on my vehicles, only use AW really now and even then havn't washed in like a month b/c of time and water restrictions, my NB/Souveran/5050 etc just sit there with no use.
 
Sorry was not trying to rush you, you did a great job though! THANK YOU!!!
It will be another whole year before she looks like that.
 
Wow..what a job..the metallic doesn't just jump out..it LEAPS out!!Im the MAN
 
The car looks fantastic ED. Nice ride Meghan !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw this car in person and I can't even begin to tell you how the paint popped; it was mesmerizing in full sunlight. Ed did an outstanding job on it.

Send me the 50/50, I'll make good use of it:)
 
Great Job Ed. I'm sure Picasso would have been impressed. (and Da Vinci too)

hey man you forgot to dry the car. it still looks dripping wet ;).

man i need the funds to pick up that wax haha.
 
I'll also attest to what a great job you did Ed. That flake pop was even more incredible the next day. Talk about "Wow" effect.
 

I have no doubt that the work done was great but in regards to the final appearance as enhanced by the WG:

Why is the cement sooooo white in the above pics? I noticed that the pics in which the paint seems like "black chrome" are also accompanied by extremely white cement... it seems these pictures have been played with/enhanced... I am not trying to cause a stir but I sure would hate to see someone that is not used to spending almost $200 on a wax be dissapointed when they do not yeild the same results they were expecting based on enhanced photos....

First, off the pictures ARE NOT ENHANCED. You like to start trouble. The camera was set at auto. Since you think they were played with, go pay to have them analyzed to see you are wrong.
New cement with the sun out.
I didn't take this photo,and the cement is white ????

Hey Ed, I think that I figured out why your legs got so sunburned, lol.

If you don't want to trust pictures, would you trust the members who were at DFIII and saw the finished results in person? Four people in this thread saw it in person and comment on how well it looked. I'm sure there are 20 other members who could vouch for the finished results.
