[Emile]

Hey,

Parents and youngest brother were in Florida. They came home tonight but while they were gone I had several days to detail Dad's car again (Mercedes S550 4Matic, a dark silver metallic color). Process was as follows:

Rinseless wash with Optimum No-Rinse.
-Microfiber wash mitt
-Tire brush
-Wheel brush
-Waffle weave towels for drying
-Meguiar's Hot Shine Tire Spray applied to tire sidewalls
-Applied Tire Spray onto tire shine applicator, then applied to tires

Zaino Z-AIO applied to entire exterior of vehicle
-Applied to paint
-Applied to glass
-Applied to plastic (head/tail lights, etc.)
-Applied to chrome (grille, emblems, etc.)

Optimum Car Wax applied to entire exterior of vehicle
-Applied to paint
-Applied to glass
-Applied to plastic (head/tail lights, etc.)
-Applied to chrome (grille, emblems, etc.)

Poorboy's World Natty's Red Paste Wax applied to hood
-4 coats, each coat applied almost immediately after the other

Interior cleaned with Windex Auto
-Applied to interior doors
-Applied to dash
-Applied to interior glass

Front leather seats cleaned & conditioned
-Used Black Magic 2-in-1 Leather Cleaner & Conditioner

Notes: It's been snowing balls outside, so no outdoor pics, and not much room for good pics.


Enough chit-chat, onto the pics:

Those are two nice cars in your garage, but with all this car cleaning, how do you have time to fish haha.

Fishing equipment belongs to my dad, fortunately most of it is elsewhere and out of sight. He fishes, I clean cars. :D

Well hopefully he doesn't bring any of the fish tackle in that nice, clean car :D.

Thanks for the posts, guys.

Well I saw it at Walmart for $4 for 32oz and figured it was worth a try. I don't really like it but I still have at least 75% of the bottle left and I don't know what else to do with it, lol. Otherwise, I would have used my trusty Cockpit Premium.

My mom saw my dad's shiny car when she came home and insisted I do her car as well. She has the same vehicle in Midnight Blue with a tan interior. I'll post pics when I do that car, probably going with an OPT Poli-Seal & Wolfgang DGPS combo and I'll try to get before and after pics.
