Woot, I did my first car detail, let me know the truth how it looks. I wash the car, clay it, rinse off and dry, polish the car, and then wax. Vacuum and did the interior after. I clean the wheel right in the beginning and clean the rim at the end.

These picture below are with my iphone so a little blurry.

Car looks ok, what products did you use? Try and include them to give a ideal of what you are using. Someone might recommend something else you could try. Looks nice though.

I used Pinnacle exterior/interior kit with the megu. clay kit. Wheel I use Black Magic. I didn't use sealant this time, need to order some but I think if I had sealant it would look better?

hard to say. I remember your other thread as you were prepping up for this. You need a better story. We all like good long stories with details and products used. Maybe the light wasn't good but some good sunny pics at the end with all sorts of angles.

that camry is smokin though. very nice color and pkg choice on that SE.

Try the DP sealant, It works well for me. Try to take pics with the sun giving some reflection.

I think the DP Surface Shield Sealant (green) has been discontinued. It worked well for me too.

Natty's Blue, Pete's 53, or Souveran paste will give a deep wet look to white paint.

thx but there was no sun that day. It was suppose to rain that sunday. It rain later on that day. Luckily I wax so the rain didn't stick to the car. I am going to get a sealant and then apply that in a month then after a week i'll rewash and wax it. Is that okay? I mean I don't have time on the weekday because I work from 10-8pm and have no time to get to a wash in a day or two.

I still need a sealant for the car. I have new update for this past weekend when I did a quick detail. But I feel white don't show much of a glow like color. I mean I think color makes it look so nice with the glow. I'm going to try to do a detail on my brother rx7. It's Red will stand out nicely.

So what sealant should I try out to give it more of a wet look?
