    First detail ...

    Thanks to AG and all the helpful info I got from members. I still have alot to learn but I got a nice jump start because of you.

    I detailed my 09 camry that I've owned since 08. It's been parked outdoors for 7 years now and hasn't seen anything more then a regular wash. I was so excited to start this detail this morning I forgot to take "before" pictures of the paint (other then the headlights). After pictures didn't come out as good as it looks in person.

    Took me total 12 hours and I only got the exterior detailed and interior just cleaned and vac.

    At the end I'm satisfied with how much I got done for the first time but I think I could of done better. Looking at the paint close, I could still see small scratches here and there. 3 people looked over it and they thought it was perfect but I know it's there and it still bugging me lol.

    Products I used.
    CG soap
    CG foam cannon
    2 Bucket
    CG Diablo wheel cleaner (don't like it)
    3D tire cleaner (works great)
    Flex 3401
    3D HD Adapt (compound/polisher)
    3D HD Poxy (sealent/wax)
    2 LC orange pads
    1 LC black
    CG super tire shine (I think that's the name)
    3D orange APO (works great)

    Leatherique and carpet cleaners was delivered today but that's going to wait for next weekend.

    I'm sure it looks even better in the sun. Looks good and nice job with the headlights.

    Dull lighting = dull looking pictures. I'm sure it looks fantastic.
