Of course this is not my first detail. But still its my first detail after I learned a lot from here. Sorry my digi camera isnt good. Its same old as my car 1999. So this is click only no bragging ... :rolleyes:





Well I washed my car two weeks ago. I washed wheels with Meg's hot wheels and then rest with Meg's carwash. Followed by VM. Used Scottwax's (:bow) method - terry towel folded in 1/8th and rubbing into the paint. Wiping of with MF. Paint is smooth and start glowing. Followed by layer of EX-P using Handi-grip applicator. Waited for an hour, wiped off with MF. Dressed front wheels with Pwc and rear wheels with Mother's clear coat wheel polish ( I have to finish this product :D and suprisingly end result was more shinier than PwC). AutoGlym Glass polish on windows. Pics didnt comeout good still got two good ones. Total time 5 hrs.



Today I did QEW for first time and followed by another layer of EX-P. Waited for 30 mins and wiped off. Oh my gawd ! paint looks more wet. Total time ~2 hrs. love QEW and followed again Scottwax's (:bow) method of chenille pad. Now I can copy Geico's ad - I saved gallons of water by switching to QEW... :D



I used VM, EX-P , QEW and Pwc for first time and love it. Rest of products are left overs in my arsenal. Next week will wax it PPG or #16... dont what to use but will test both ...



Although pics dont do justice but Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping fellow autopians :bow will look at these pics and give feedback to me ...



Well PC is in my wishlist. I am looking for a lamp, so I can rub it and genie will appear and I will ask him for PC...



Again thanks to Scottwax for xat.com :bow... I can resize my pics.

the mother's clear coat wheel polish is a pretty good product. maybe next time you can do that before the PwC.
 
"I saved gallons of water by switching to QEW"

Thanks GSRStilez :bow. Yes I joined Team Integra before I joined Autopia. Never posted anything there. Felt like tiny fish in a very big pond :D I did goto bible school of detailing of StyleTEG :bow and used Never Dull on my headlights :up and Meg's clear plastic cleaner followed by plastic clear polish :up again. BTW I used Poorboy's Trim Restorer too.



Well from there, I have got enough confidence, I am gonna detail my integra's engine bay in next long weekend ;)
