Summer "Light" Detail (Pictures)

'Twas good weather today in the old Chicago. So good, that I decided I would give my car a nice light wash. So I took it out, gave it a proper wash, and then noticed some defects in the paint. I had a lot of scratches running down my hood, and my trunk lid was also quite f***** as well. Me, being OCD about my car, decided I must give the trunk and the hood a hit with the DA. Did that, then I noticed that my interior was also in the need of some TLC. I think you see where this is going.

Long story short, I ended up spending a little over 6 hours detailing my car...and I enjoyed every bit of it. Hit the glossy plastic bits as well. Here are the specifics on what I did as well as some pictures. Enjoy!

Main Wash:
Meguair's Gold Class + Gilmour Foam Gun
Wesley Tire Cleaner
Eagleone Wheel Cleaner
Wash mit and microfiber drying towels

Interior:
Lexol Leather Cleaner
Leather Brush (Soft paint brush from Joanne)
Microfiber Towels and Water

Paint Correction:
Detailers Clay
Mother's Quick Detailer (Clay Lube)
Harbor Freight DA and Pads
Meguair's Ultimate Compound
Meguair's Ultimate Polish
Mother's Gold Class Synthetic Wax
Loads of Microfibers

Finishing Touch:
Black Magic Tire shine
Windex

Pictures:
Before






In Progress


Finished Product
