Here's the process/pics:



Wash with foaming gun

Clay

wash again

Hi-Temp Wheel Cleaner

Meguiars DACP via PC 7424 and Meguiars Cutting pad (twice on each panel, some got a 3rd pass)

NXT Sealant applied/removed via PC (grey pad applied/MF Bonnet on a white pad to remove)

Stoners Invisible glass on exterior glass

Meguiars Hyperdressing 3:1 on tires and exterior plastic (wiper cowl, mirror trim, mudflaps, etc)

Generic Glass Cleaner & #0000 Steele Wool on exhaust to clean it

NXT Metal Polish on exhaust and lower tie bar



Having never met the owner before, based on the screenname on another forum (DirtyEP3), I was expecting a very dirty car.

i see some gauges . . . . . is the car modded or are those the usual:



Air/Fuel Ratio Gauge etc . . . . .



would be sweet if there was a EGT & Vacuum gauge in their as that would mean it's boosted.



Nice work.
