Detailing: Chef's Summer Toy Chef got a new car for the summer and it was really fun to work on. Overall the car was good, and had the color I loved! It took some time and a little elbow grease but I think I brought the best out of it and Cheffer seemed really pleased with the results. Being that the previous owner had not seemed to wax it for over a year it came out spectacular.
This was done 100% by hand, no machine.
Process:
Wash- Meguiar's Gold Class Wash
Clay- Mother's clay and their detailer
Wash- It needed it, and dried.
Correction- Meg's Ultimate Compound on Wing and side mirrors
Glaze- Meg's #7 Show Car
Wax- Meg's NXT 2.0 (4 hr. cure)
Wax- Topped with #26 Hi-tech Yellow Carnuba (2 hr. cure)
Booster- Meg's Ultimate Quick Wax
Interior- Vaccume, wipe down with Quick Int. Detailer Mist, Jambs done with Ult. Quick Detailer, Leather with Armor All Leather Treatment
Wheels- Mother's Billet Polish, By hand, and Also worked with a Power Cone.
Tire- Stoners More or Less Tire Shine.
Like said I am very pleased with the results and quite a few have already given compliments.
Enjoy the Pics!

Thanks everyone.
To clarify, when I say cure. I put NXT on the entire car one shot and it should be about 15-20 mins, then I check the first panel. I do a swipe test. Using a clean index finger, I swipe the wax and if its clean underneath (no streaks) then its ready.
I knock off using clean Terry cloth, then another clean cloth (note 2) I buff off the rest.
Once the car is done, It will sit for 4 hours to cure. I was working on the interior and rims during that time.
Glaze has no cure. Working one panel at a time, you DO NOT want it to dry on.

Goodyear eagle on one rear, sumi on the other? Seems like setting a porsche next to a civic in my opinion lol. Curious as to how the rear shot is on this car with the mismatch.
On topic good job with the car
Nice deep shine!
