This was my first paid detail. It was a 2007 Honda Accord that has not had any wax on it since 07. My neighbor asked me to basically clean up and wax his mother's car for her birthday. I basically used a 1 step correction and wax to the exterior and cleaned the interior. Sorry for the lack of pictures, I did not have too much time to take them. I did not get a chance to take interior pictures either. The interior was not too bad...it had the normal spots to clean.

Sorry forgot to post that. 2 bucket method on the wash. I used Makita 9227c with yellow pad and applied xmt360. I used PC 7424 with white pad and applied Collinite 845. The rims were polish with Wheel Wax and tires were dressed in Pinnacle Black Onyx Tire Gel. The glass I used DP Krystal Vision Glass Cleaner. Inside was dressed in Poorboys World Natural finish.

thank you. I didn't get too much of a chance to take final shots of the car. There was a threat of rain and I wanted to get the car back to my house to give it to the customer. It ended up raining the rest of the day and into the next. I felt bad giving the car to the customer in the rain, but she was happy to know the car was cleaned and waxed.

I love xmt360....it is great for one step process. I have not tried any other one step polishes yet.
