Cool 2001WS-6's Detail (Reflections Inside)

I must say this car was a absolute pleasure to work on. A very low milage WS.6 from the original owner, Kirt. One of the nicest things is that he is close!

My process is pretty set at this point, when I get into paint correction more then I will have to add more steps.

The reflection shots were insane and I beleive it as the car needed VERY little clay (bumper only) and the swirls were very little.

Process:

Wash- Meguiar's Gold Class
Clay- Mother's Brand
Polish/Glaze- #7 Meg's Show Car Glaze
Wax #1- Meguiar's NXT 2.0
Wax #2- Meguiar's #26 Hi Tech Yellow Wax
Booster- Ultimate Quick Wax
Wheels- Wash/Dry
Tires- Armor All Extreme Shine Tire Gel
Leather- Meg's Rich Leather Cleaner/Conditioner

The rest was a vaccume and cleaning of the HD rubber mats with Purple Power and a brush. Also did the jambs and cleaned the engine bay by hand and his underhood mirrors.

Over all Kirt was extremely impressed and I was very pleased to hear that!

As for the products, IMO I do not think people need to spend big $$$ to get great results. For those who talked to people outside this country, Meguiar's products go for big $$$ and are dying to try them out so go fig.

Great Job, looks like Glass, I like doing cars that are well taken care of, easier yes, but man the finished results make you all warm and fuzzy. Black WS6 is a mean and now clean ride.

You've got that right, people love to use expensive stuff, mail order this and that and brag about what they use. Alot of people look down on anything that can be purchased locally but some of my best details were done with an array of products from Autozone or stores of that sort.

Meguiars #7 and #26 is a really really nice combo, they'll work together really well and shine with the best of them.

Glaze will make almost any car look good, it hides almost everything.

Yea, thanks everyone!! I love how for the Majority the products are avalible locally but there is some stuff like All Purpouse Cleaner and APC+ as well as Hyperdressing that I need to order but once I get it I'll be mint!

My own car is due again and the sad part is that it's been garaged. The place has a bad roof and we are looking for another place.
