2008 Saturn Aura

[ziggo99]

This is my own car, and I admit sometimes it shouldn't look like it should. But today, with temps in the 80's and a nice breeze, I went at it. Since it is a DD, a full 100% correction doesn't make sense. Just a quick touch up polish, since I did a good 90% correction last summer and make it shine was the goal of the day. So, process and after pictures.

Wash with Chemical Guy's Citrus Wash
Scrubbed the tires with Mother's Tire Brush and OPC at full strength, wheels cleaned with Daytona Speed Brush and the CG's CW
Wheel wells sprayed down with Meguiar's APC+ and then blasted with the hose.
Clayed with Meguiar's Smooth Clay Kit clay and Last Touch detailer at clay lube dilution.
Polished with GG 6" and a 6" LC white pad with Optimum Polish II
Glazed with CG's Glossworkz
Sealed with BFWD
Topped with AGHD
Tires dressed with PERL at 1:1
Wheel wells dressed with Finish Kare Top Kote

Very nice!!

Have but haven't tried Glossworkz Glaze yet. Looks like it lays nicely under your sealant and wax.

Just realized I used the smaller photos, which doesn't do the flake justice. If a mod reads this, could you move these pictures to the OP?

Michael, this was the first time using Glossworkz on the entire car. I don't think I'll apply it with a CCS pad next time, as the pad seemed to soak up a lot of product But it has a nice smell and really did add some nice gloss to it.

Corey, thanks for the kind words. Gotta love the way a Saturn shines when it all cleaned up!

I enjoy this hobby and appreciate this forum. Great pics and an informative process. Judging by the pics, seems like pollen will be your new protagonist.
