Detailed: 2002 Infiniti I35. 56k warning...

[supercharged]

This wasn't a major detail, since there was no polishing envolved. It was simply wash and wax, engine and interior detail.

The process:

I started with the engine first.
Covered altenator, fans, and belts with plastic bags first. Then Spray Zep CD (cut 1:1) on engine, and all plastic and rubber around it. Let it soak for about 5 minutes, then respray a little more again. I used short handle green bristle brush for all stubborn grease build up. Then rinsed everything with a strong jet of water. removed all plastic bags, and wiped off all major water spills with a terry towel. Then sprayed AA tire foam on all rubber and plastic, closed the hood, and cranked up the engine. I washed the car while it was running.

Wash with Meguiar's Super Soap and added a cup of Poorboy's Bug Squash, and whilte/yeallow Shmitt.
This was my first time using this shampoo. I bought it (only a small sample)a while ago from Autodetailingsolutions, but never got a chance to try it out.
Average foam, and average cleaning power (even with a cup of Poorboy's BS). What I did like about it though was it breaks down quickly when rinsing,
which means you spand less time rinsing your vehicle off. While wet, I sprayed the car with Megs Last touch Spray detailer and clayed it with Megs blue pro clay. I do like the clay, but their lubricant is obviously no the best. It kinda degrages the clay bar, and no I will not buy this detailer again. I quickly rewashed the car, rinsed it and dried with a guzzler.

tires/wheel wells were cleaned with ZEP CD cut 1:1. Since it was my first major detail on this car I decided to clean everything well. ZEP CD did a very fine job.

Wheels - DP Gel wheel cleaner and oxo brushes.

Trim received 303 protectant.

Waxed the car with Collinite 476S. Yes, no paint cleaner. Paint had only little swirls, and since it was washed/clayed well, I went straight into waxing. Love 476S. I primed foam applicator pad with Mothers Showtime QD, and applied the wax very thinly. I used the WOWO method, removing wax immediately, before it dries. I use this method for all paste waxes.

Interior Pinnacle leather cleaner and conditioner (2 separate steps), and Poorboy's natural look on vinyl.

That is some NICE work there Supercharged. Wonder why no comments yet? I see that you stole some of my Zep spraybottles, those things are the best!

Nice work.

Very nice work, I have a question for you. How did you like the Meguirs Profesional Clay? I'll be purchasing this one fairly soon and I've heard it has a really aggresive bite.

I really like how the trims look, the vehicle looks sharp.

Thanks for sharing.
