    2015 Scion FRS Firestorm Red Detailed

    I purchased this car new at the end of July and I had a chance to detail it properly. It currently has 3600 miles and it is quite a blast to drive considering it doesn't have plenty of power. The paint finish had many swirls from when I purchased it, so my goal was to remove a majority of them. I am very satisfied with the results. This was also the first time ever using any type of coating.

    Wash (for initial and after polishing wash)
    2 bucket method
    Chemical Guys Citrus Wash
    Big Blue Drying Towel

    Wheels & Tires
    Sonax Full Effect
    Wheel Woolies
    Wheel brush
    Stoners Bug and Tar (Tires only)
    Chemical Guys New Car Shine Dressing

    Clay
    Nanoskin Clay Sponge - Medium
    UWW for clay lubricant

    Polishing
    GG 6"
    5 in. backing plate
    5.5" BS Cutting MF Pad
    5.5" BS Finishing MF Pad
    5.5" Uber Cutting MF Pad
    5.5" Meg Finishing MF Pad
    5.5" BS White Foam Pad
    Menzerna FG400
    Menzerna PO85rd
    Meguiars M205
    Various Microfiber towels

    Protection for glass, trim, wheels and paint
    Duragloss Enviroshield

    Interior
    Surf City Garage Dash Away
    Griots Garage Vinyl & Rubber Dressing
    Duragloss RW for windows

    Condition prior to washing

    All the trim is taped off

    The GG6 is a great machine, I have an original 7424 still and I find this machine to be more comfy to operate. This is my first time using it after owning it for about 2 years.
