I washed with meguire's gold car wash used Eagle 1 all wheel cleaner, buffed out with meguire's ultimate compound. Did the tires with Meguires tire shine. Polished the wheels with Colinite #850 they were gold coor / tarnished used Duragloss as my top coat. cleaned carpets and used lexol conditioner and cleaner on the seats.

Looks good. One suggestion, if I may? If you plan on doing any compounding or polishing, it's probably better to use a citrus based soap or even water+dawn dish soap instead of Meguiars Gold Class. That way it'll strip away any existing sealants and waxes on your paint. It'll make your compound/polishing process easier and more effective. I believe Gold Class has some filler or glaze properties which helps make the car look extremely shiny and gives almost like a wax boost.

Thank you for the suggestion, this forum has been very helpful. Actually I used the meguiars that is purple in color not the gold class.

This is my detailing arsenal. I also have the Porter Cable XP 7424 DA Polisher.
