Been a while since I've been on any of these detailing websites, but thought I would post up some new pics of my Trans Am and my new Accord. I recently sold the TA to my dad for $7K (basically told him to buy it for the cost of the parts I put on), which was good because I was going to sell it, but my parents just couldn't see it go. Took the TA to the car show this weekend (GoodGuys Summer GTG) and painted the calipers in my detail process. Worked on the TA 3 days in a row after work from 10pm - 1:30pm. This show was supposed to be an NKSLNGR support show that I got together, but out of 7 cars that were supposed to go, I was the only one that didn't flake! Sucked! BTW NKSLNGR is my buddy's clothing company. Um, guess thats about it for the TA (I'll talk about my new car after pics of the TA). Oh ya, only new additions to the TA is the calipers, pontiac inserts and plate frame.
Process:
OCP (with rotary buffer which BTW is super easy to get used to and I think anyone thinking about getting a PC, should save more money and get a rotary, cuz it puts my PC to shame and is super easy to use)
CGs EZ~Creme Glaze
CGs Top Coat Sealant
CGs Hardcore paste wax
Pull wheels, clean, wax w/SmartWax
Paint calipers: clean, 3 coats black, apply decals, 2 coats clear
Clean wheel wells
Int.
Cleaned/vacumed everything
CGs VRT dressing
CGs Leather conditioner
NXT on glass
Calipers before

My new car, 04 Accord Coupe V6 6spd w/navi, I bought from my dad, yes bought ($23K) not given! Basically stock for now, only has KN CAI, soon to have Nuespeed Super Cup kit (basically Coilovers) installed. Gotta get wheels after that. Then exhaust (borla) and then just small appearance stuff.
Here are some older pics of it wearing IW
