Here is a detail I did on my garage queen in the last few days. Vehicle is mostly garaged and gets driven occasionally. It has 51k miles on the clock.
Vehicle was foamed with Tropi-Care Citrus Wash (love this wash to strip protection) and a foam lance. I foamed it, and did the wheels while it was dwelling. Washed with Zymöl Sponge and Megs Shampoo Plus.
Wheels P21S wheel cleaner gel on wheels, Amazing Roll off on tires, EZ brush and OXO brushes.
Tires: Dressed with SV Pneu
Clay: Sonus Green and Pinnacle Clay lube. I have to admit, I love this combo, Pinnacle clay lube is so slick, but does needs a good rinse afterwards. After a good rinse it was dried with Cobra WW MF towel and Optimum QD.
Engine: was cleaned with P21S TAW, and dressed with 303 protectant.
Trim:was dressed with Black Wow, Door seals conditioned with 1Z Rubber care stick.
I didn't do any polishing on this car, as it was polished in November, and there is hardly any scratches/water spots.
Glaze ## EZ Creme was used to glaze it up a bit. Applied with MF applicator and removed with Justin's Ultra Premiums. I gotta admit, I love these towels, and I'm glad I bought 10 of them!
Protection: Jetseal 109. Very easy to use, awesome looks, and can be topped in 30 minutes, Jetseal is a winner.
LSP: ## 5050. I really wanted to try this combo, and gotta admit, I love it!
Final wipedown with FK 425.
Interior: Leather Master Trio on leather (the very best there is), Megs APC Plus (10:1) on carpets, 1Z Cockpit Premium on vinyl.
Enjoy!!!

Nice job!! All those pictures flipping around made me dizzy. Do you really like JS109?? I used it and wasn't impressed. It looked great, but durability wasn't there.

Thanks...I like posting a lot of pics, and really like seing other detailers doing so...not only befores and afters, but DURING THE DETAIL pics, they are so teasing...
As far as Jetseal, be sure you have the surface ready for it (preferbly polished), I have it glazed with EZ Creme Glaze, and it made the job easier...as far as Jetseal durability, it does sucks on it's on on paint, but when topped with 5050 it's a completely different thing...I'm expecting 3-4 months, considering that vechicle is garaged...Best thing about Jetseal is it can be topped 30 minutes after you remove it, which is not the case with many other sealants...It does outlasts other wheel sealants on wheels (Jetseal).

Looks B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L! Those are my favourite Honda model. (in my country they're sold as the Honda Legend rather than Acura RL, same with the Acura TL, they're sold as the Accord Euro).

I too like the pics of when you're actually detailing. I guess they're the hardest to take though, because for some of them you need to get someone to take them for you.

Great write up! :righton:
