Detailed: Navy Chrysler 300C

This morning I detailed my neighbors 300C. I wasn't a big fan of these cars, but after sitting in it, it's very nice.

The paint was in pretty good shape, no bad swirls just some hard water spots and a few scratches.

I told him my price was $80, he gave me a check for $100.

Interior:
1) Cleaned dirty vinyl with Simple Green cut 10:1.
2) Dressed dash and trim with Meg's Rubber and Vinyl Protectant
3) Dressed leather seats with Meg's Gold Class Leather Conditioner
4) Vacuumed carpet and trunk
5) Spot cleaned carpet with Meg's Easy Out Spot Remover. This also worked really great.
6) Cleaned interior glass with Armor All glass cleaner.

Exterior:
1) Cleaned engine compartment with SG cut 1:1 and tire brush.
2) Wash with Meg's Gold Class Shampoo, 2 bucket method. This stuff is great, I'm throwing out my other cheap washes now.
3) Dry with Absorber
4) Spot scratch correction with OC and orange CCS pad.
5) Polish hood and roof to get rid of water spots with OP and white CCS pad
6) Hand polished around door handles with OP and microfiber applicator.
7) Finished with OPS with gray CCS pad.
8) Cleaned exterior glass with Armor All Glass cleaner
9) Wiped down door jambs with Megs QD and a MF towel.

On a side note, I was planning on getting some DP MaxWax with my next order to add a carnuba to my stash, but everyone has been raving about the new Liquid Souveran Spray Wax. Any opinions on which I should get?

Nice work and it seems like you did it pretty quick too. I'd not compare a spray wax and a paste. My opinion would be to go liquid aouveran, it will save time over a paste because you can apply it with the PC very quickly.

Looks like you did a good job out there.
Between Spray Souveran, Liquid Souveran, and DP Max wax - it's a difficult choice. They are all great, and it really depends on what type of application do you like the most.
