What does your "Full Detail" consist of? When you do a full detail on your cars, what does it consist of. Reason I'm asking, is because i'm just curious how nuts everyone gets when they do it, and how different cars look when different products are used on it. What products do you use and how many coats of that product do you apply? Also, if you gots pics of your car after the full detail, post 'em up too.
I'll start. I just got done with my Formula an hour ago.
- Meguiars Claybar
- Mothers Pre-wax cleaner
- 2-3 coats of Mothers polish (did 3 today)
- 2 coats of Mothers Reflections wax (I sometimes use Meguiars cleaner wax though, but I did not use it today.)
- 1 coat of Ice spray detailer
- Black magic tire shine (Foam)
- Clean all the door jams/trunk with Ice spray detailer
- Rochester colonial Glass cleaner (local company makes it.. Best stuff I've ever used)
- Black Magic vynal shine/protectant
- Turtle Wax chrome polish
- Shampoo & vacuum all the carpets
I'll post some pics up of it tommrow, I couldnt take any good ones tonight because it was too day out.
