Thanks Adam! I'm not sure, I'm trying to decide whether or not I'm going to keep it through winter. Yeah yeah, I know.

Thanks dude. I originally had quite the plans for her, but I'm thinking of some bigger plans in the grand scheme of things now. We'll see what happens!

Looks awesome!

Did you use the APC with a bristled brush on the carpet?
Did you wipe the interior panels down with anything after cleaning?

Thanks! Yes I used a small brush with the APC, just a cheap one from the auto store. I wiped the panels down with Meguiars gold class. I usually use Zaino's leather in a bottle on the interior panels too, but I was running out!

Thank you! M105 can be a little tougher to use, mainly you just need to make sure your pad stays clean and it doesn't dry out. A shot of detail spray on the pad after each application, and a quick brush of the pad with a nylon brush once it starts to get some build-up, and you're good! Menzerna SIP is by far my favorite polish to use though!

Good job! Although I'm not one for a shiny interior. Personal preference. How in the hell did you clean up that engine bay so well? And those windows blend right with the roof LOL.

I used to drool over posts like these in the past, that's mainly the reason why i started! Type in "Highline Details" on Facebook to see the rest of my gallery, I'm sure there's some more pictures you would enjoy! Thanks for the kind words!

LOL! The windows are 5% The engine bay was sprayed with Meguiars APC 4:1, then I used a brush and a separate wash mitt specifically for wheels and the engine bay, scrubbed everything down very well. Then I sprayed the whole engine bay again with the APC, let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then rinsed it off!

Haha thank you! I never liked this color until the first time I saw it in person, such a nice color!

I'd detail my engine bay like that but I'm afraid to mess up a sensor or electrical connection hosing it off with water. Did you have the engine running when you hosed it off?

I've heard about people flooding the knock sensors in these cars. I had the car parked on the downward slope of my driveway, engine off. I covered anything I was worried about (PCM, main coil pack harnesses) with aluminum foil, nothing will get past that If wrapped up tightly. Sandwich baggies and rubberbands are another popular option, but most detailers go right ahead and powerwash the whole engine bay without problems. I've hosed down quite a few engine bay's and never had any issues.

However, in my old WS6, I cleaned that engine like 10 times in the time I owned it. After the rebuild, one of the pins in the passenger side main coil pack harness wasn't making contact. When we opened it up, it was all corroded. I can't help but to wonder if this was due to all the water the bay saw.
