This is a combination of both mine and Julia (MYcarIsFTL) pictures, this is a detail of my OWN car! Crazy right? Well, enjoy!

I'm posting all the before pictures, and then the after pictures this time

What was done to the car:

Washed
Clay Bar - remove old wax
Hydro Gloss - a gloss enhancer, for wet vehicles
Wheels removed (needed to rotate them)
--Degreased using New Wave
--Washed with soap and dish sponges on back side, soft touch on face
--Dried, faces polished with Deep Crystal
--Waxed with Collinites 845 Insulator wax, inner rim and face

Underside rinsed and scrubbed
Entire vehicle polished with Deep Crystal Polish
Entire vehicle waxed with Collinite 845 Insulator wax
Then re-rinsed, dried
Wiped down with Showroom Carnuaba Spray wax (excellent stuff)

Tires done in Ardex details spray
Windows done in Ardex Overspray and absorbant towel
Dash done in Meguiars Interior Detail spray

After

Scrubbing them wheels, softly.

Reeeemmmmsssss

Sponge is softer than fluff

Looks nice, bby ;) But this would've been a lot easier if it were WARM (so that my hands and tits could've stayed attached to my body) and if I didn't have to squeeze around your garage to get shots. *Sigh*

For the record, you are the most anal person in the world about detailing..but I guess it pays off

I was truly impressed to watch cause you def changed my perception on what cleaning a car involves, ha

Looking good, dood.

russiankid · 01-15-2009, 08:01 PM

Just to let you know your frame rails don't have undercoating. Looks good otherwise, clean.

P.S. Who uses a brush on wheels? Be a man and use your tooth brush.

tcturbo91 · 01-15-2009, 08:05 PM

looks horrible

haha just kidding, thats a nice transformation. I detail as well but i never have the motivation to do my own car, so props for that

Haha, no they don't, I blame Ford for that. I do use my own toothbrush, I just don't use it on my teeth as well haha.

Thanks, yeah I try to keep my own car as clean as possible, I get people asking me where I get it done sometimes. Then I tell them I do it haha.

must be nice to be able to wash your car inside your garage. Mine is used for storage mostly and i can pull my car half way in if i need light at night or trying to work on it in the rain or something.

Nice detail also!!
