Well...she's been bathed! [Large Pics!]

Well after much bashing by forum members...I was finally able to get my 2.6 washed. A friend of mine who is a detailer got some new products in he wanted to try out...so i figured my 190 would be a perfect candidate due to the imperfections in the paint (oxidation, marks, etc)

Here is what he used (in this order):

Washed With:
Meguire's Deep Crystal Car Wash

Then applied:
Clay Magic Claybar
Poorboys SSR 2.5
Poorboys SSR 1
Klasse AIO
Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze
DP MaxWax
Meg 80 Speed Glaze

The wheels also got:
Klass High Gloss Sealant Glaze
DP MaxWax

Took us near six hours to do...

Here are some pics, they were taken in my garage...tomorrow ill post up some dayshots...

IMHO, it looks gooood.

now, day-time shots:



On the to buy list:
1) New Euros (these dont match and are broken
2) New Corners (one is cracked)
3) New grill surround and star (pittted)
4) *maybe* Avantgarde Grille (dno how it would look)
5) Also pondering refinishing / replaceing rims...must look into costs though....
6) Must find out whats rattling around in muffler...nice remus-style system but there is like a piece of metal rattling around in there.

RE: Car Wash & detail

I am a stickler for detail: so hear are some recommdations to consider on the follow up.
1) clean the inside fender splash shields and dress

2) clean the inside of the alloy wheels soft mag wheel brush.
