Default After full detail

Sorry for all the pics the last couple of days. Just wanted to show it after everything was done.

Finished the detail today. This included:

Wash
Claybar
1 coat of Mothers wax precleaner
2 coats of Mothers premium polish
2 coats of Mothers liquid wax
2 coats of polish on the windshield
Polished all wheels with Mothers chrome polish
Sprayed down the undercarriage
Polished exhaust tips and muffler with Mothers billet polish
Sanded down and polished brake lines in engine bay
Removed rear black lights and used Mothers plastic polish
Polished MTI clear lid with Mothers plastic polish
Polished all painted pieces in engine bay and interior with plastic polish
Final wipe down using Maguires ultimate detailer spray

I think that's it






Running a little rich!

Very very nice. Might check with Mothers and see if they want to promote the pictures of your car with their products done on it like this. Immaculate

lol wow i feel like such a lazy *** now...

Then again if i had a car like that and a garage to put it in I'd be more enthusiastic about it.

It's a shame you don't like Mothers...

came out beautiful man, I love that clay bar, i got it at wal-mart for $14 I think, and I used the mothers cleaner wax along with it after, and then meguairs gloss shine wax. the car came out like glass. Whats your opinion on the mothers polish? does it give even more shine then a shine wax?

Edit: I had to come back and post more I cant get enough of your car. I am looking through your smugmug gallery now. I no now have a pic of your car as my wallpaper. Its so worth the amount of detail you put into cleaning this car. I love that firebird racing stripe decal you have on the hood. I have never seen that before. Now I want to go out and but that mother polish and re clay bar my car.
