It's been a while...

Seeking the perfect shine
I detailed my friend's 2000 S2000 b/c he's in the process of trying to sell it. It was dark when I finished, so, the pics are a few days later.

Process:
Exterior
Washed with PB's SS&S with lambskin mitt
Clayed with Blue Clay Magic & Homemade Lube (NXT wash with water in spray bottle)
Washed again
Wheels & wells cleaned with E1 A2Z using Tire brush, wheel well brush (green 1 from AG--nice soft bristles), and cotton chenille mit)
SSR3 & Orange LC pad (Spot treatment)
SSR2.5 & Orange LC pad (all over car)
WG Finishing Glaze (Megs Polishing Pad)
EX-P (Megs Beige Pad) -- The owner applied 1 or 2 additional coats by hand (I left him a sample of EX-P)

Tires & Wells dressed with BnB & buffed off by MF towel

Interior
Carpet shampooed with Prestone Carpet Cleaner and using the Oxy Clean method and hand brush.
Seats & Door Panel Inserts cleaned w/ Lexol Leather Cleaner & Conditioned with PB's Leather Stuff -- Seats DRANK it up....applied it twice
Panels & Dash dressed with PB's Nat. Look

I apologize for the lack of BEFORE pics....I always forget to do that! I detailed my DD this weekend, too...and completely forgot to take pics.

The pics are smaller than I'd like...and the light wasn't the best....but don't blame me! I didn't take them.

I looked at the pics and noticed that I didn't get the wheel wells dressed like I'd like. :( I told the owner that.....and he just said I was nuts. He was ecstatic at how it looked.

Everything except those wheel wells look great. The paint looks really wet. I'm sure your friend was thrilled.
 
Took the words right out of my mouth....a good water based dressing would have made those look much better

That's what happens when you finish the detail and it's already dark outside....you don't see that they need to be dressed...OOPS!

IDK how you guys do details in 3-4 hrs from the ground up (interior, wash, clay, polish, glaze, seal, etc).

Then again, when I'm detailing, I don't know the meaning of the phrase "Good Enough."
