Since I live in India and detailing isn't much of an industry here. Still, I was able to procure a small quantity of each product suggested for my brand new Honda City Bold Biege.

I didn't have a DA and applied all the products using good old hands.

Products used:
Meg's clay with ONR as lubricant
Klasse All In One (1 coat)
BlackFire Wetdiamond Sealant (1 Coat)

1 coat of BFWD and 1 coat of Collinite 845 still pending. Will come up with more pics tomorrow.

Without further ado, I bring to you

That looks really good. There is a lot of depth to the paint! What tire dressing did you use?

Thanx man! for depth... thanx to blackfire!
The tyre foam I used was Cyclo Foam Away Tire Care. It's the only tire foam available here easily but good bang for d buck. Around $5.50.

The color comes in what category, I'm unable to understand. I think its a dark color but some say its light,(maybe coz bringing out gloss and depth is difficult on this color) some say it's dark. 845 pics comin soon! :xyxthumbs:

Welcome mayne!

Welcome mayne!

The multi-quote feature is a bad approach to thread bumpin IMO. Might I suggest you read my article on thread bumpin etiquette. Me and some friends are discussing effective ways to thread bump. You are welcome to join in on the conversation :coolgleam:

BTW...Your car looks fantastic. Looks like I'm looking at a mirror

How long have you owned the car?
