So Jose is a buddy of mine and posts on the forums. He contacted me and asked for detail. I agreed. The car has 80K on the clock and needed some TLC. Had water spots, Scuffs, and scratches. The Chrome wheels also needed some work. I tried alot of new products for this job. :p

You are the GOD of detailing, mate. I'd love to have you fix up my paintwork.:hail2::hail2:

What do you recommend for cleaning the plastic interior?? I've been using ArmorAll for years, but I'm sure you have something better? What can of polisher were you using?
 
I seen this list for the underhood:

Underhood:
- Simple Green
- SmartWax NuShine

Just curious, on the black pieces like rad cover etc etc what are you using? Just the smartwax nushine? Because all the cars you did so far, it seems the black stuff comes out great, almost like tire shine on them, but not...my black stuff is clean, but not shinny like that, and I am not about to spray tire shine on it and get it all gummy!
 
i love the car detailing before and after pics. not to rain on handz parade here, but this is another amazing a before/after detail with 160 pics. a guy who is in a local club i am in does this same stuff. i cant get enough of it. i need to get my car done though.
 
Nice work. Glad to see someone takes time, and uses quality products instead of the run-of-the-mill crap you see in parts stores.

I do have a question, i saw you ran the CG shampoo.... do you use a foam gun? Ive run a few different shampoos through my gun and kind of stuck with Megs Gold Class. Seems like its "easier" to get dirt out of the paint with my mitt afterwards. Do you use a gun and let the foam sit, or just wash?

Very nice job man.
