    Like the above title says, I did my first detail over the weekend! The car arrived last Tuesday in very good condition, but I still wanted to jewel and paint and get some sexy cloud shots :applause2:

    Here was my basic process and tools used:

    - Wash with ONR with 2 bucket method
    - Clay (Riccardo Yellow with Riccardo Clay Lube)
    - Wash again (ONR)
    - Polish (PC with Black and 85RD)
    - Wipedown with Menzerna Top Inspection
    - Glaze (CG EZ Creme)
    - Sealant (CG Jetseal 109) ; 2 coats
    - Wax (P21S Concurs Look Carnuba)

    I still need to buy a hose extension and a power washer so I can do a proper soap and suds wash due to my detached garage. Also, sorry for no before pics...maybe nextime :shead:

    So here are the afters, hope you think it came out good for my first detail! :thumb:
