Detailed my car over the past two days (never left the garage until the exterior was finished, LOL). Took about seven hours in total to do just the outside. I know, I am very slow.



Process:



-Washed with Meguiar's Gold Class

-Clayed entire car

-Poorboy's SSR1 with Sonus Green Pad, PC set at 4.5

-Klasse AIO with Sonus Blue Oad, PC set at 4.5

-Klasse SG with Sonus Gray Pad, PC set at 1, removed with microfiber bonnets over Sonus Orange Pad at speed 1

-Poorboy's Natty's Wax by hand, removed with microfiber bonnets over Sonus Orange Pad at speed 1

-Stoners Invisible Glass on all glass

-303 Aerospace on all trim

-Meguiar's High Endurance Matte Finish on tires

-Klasse AIO on rims

-303 Aerospace in wheel wells



It was getting dark as I finished so the pictures make my paint look darker than it actually is. I have to say though that I have never seen such wet, clear, and reflective silver. Oh, and I forgot to take the date off the digital. Hate when I do that!



POP!

That looks great...very wet! Did you just do 1 coat of SG? I've heard that Natty's gives a very wet look. What are your impressions of it?
 
One coat of everything.



So far I really like Nattys. Still have the S100 and #16 to try so I will hold off on final judgement.
 
that is one of my favorite car - beautiful shape.



Excellent detail. I did an older silver Nissan today but it was really dark by the time I finished, so no "real" after pictures until I go back to finish the interior next time it doesn't rain (next thursday)
 
you know that is exactly what I was thinking. The pictures looks like the ones on the toyota website. Looking at your cars proves their is hope for mine! Nice job
 
The camera is a 3.2 megapixel Sony Cybershot DSC-P71. The pictures are scaled down from very large originals. It is a pretty nice little camera.

Your pics look much better than the ones I'm taking with my 2.1 mp HP camera; I really need to upgrade to a newer camera.
