Hi guys,

I've done my first simple detailing today with my brother. His 2006 Mazda 3 has seen a lot of dirt (with his 2 dogs in the 5 years), dirty roads (rocky roads), a family car. :xyxthumbs:

The car was washed when he could and he waxed it about twice or 3 times a year. We live in Montreal, Canada so winter is harsh on the paint for at least 5 months, salt on roads, slush, not easy. :awman:

Today, I went to his place (with my beginner inventory) and without any electrical machines (buffer, DA, rotary) we did our best to bring back the car to life again. :xyxthumbs:

Washing: Meguiars Wash and Wax
Drying: California Blade, drying clothes
Claying: Meguiars Smooth Surface
Cleaning: Mothers Pre Wax Cleaner
Waxing: Meguiars Ultimate Wax
QD: Meguiars Ultimate Quik Detailer

The car was dull at first, almost no reflections. Even after claying, the paint was not shiny, still some contaminants.

The Pre Wax Cleaner did a freaking great job. The wax also helped.

Some swirls are still left but we are happy with the job. Some pictures taken with a non SLR Camera.
 
Good job!
Now you won't be able to stop detailing and you will always think about which products you should buy...
I've been there and it cost me a lot of $$, :p you get addicted but hey...it's fun!. :)
