Today me and my buddy Jake washed/clayed/polished/waxed our rides. It took about 4-5 hours for both cars total. Beer and smoke breaks of course . SCROLL down for some really cool shots...at least I thought so

Products used:
Meguiars #16 wax
Meguiars polish
Meguiars clay bar (highly recommend)
Diaper cloths
LOTS of elbow grease

Before: WRX





Clean paint but no depth

After WRX:





Before CB7:


(nice paint chips )



Overall not too shabby but I decided to do mine again because MOthers clay bar sucks and I only waxed...no polish.

I was AMAZED!

After CB7:





Other cool shots:












Comments are welcome

 

nice n shinyy

 

that WRX is bad....but that CB7 looks a lil iffy lookin damn good ken, i would, although i would love to, never spend that much time cleaning my car... 1 hour is all i need haha, of course my cb7 hasnt been washed for a month, i dont need water running into the interior now do i

 

Thats a lot of work but the results are nice. What were the baby wipes for?

 

Looka good dude.

 

Shinyness is yayness!

 

Hmm I myself think Mother's clay bar is the best. The Meguiar's I tried was too hard, very tough to knead, and the Clay Magic bar I tried was way too sticky, it stuck to my fingers all the time.

Mother's

 

nice cb7

I've been using Mother's and it sticks to EVERYTHING. I have a hard time storing the clay bar because whatever I put it in, (ziploc bags, wax paper, etc.) it tears it apart when I try to remove it.

 

Nice dedication dude.

Then I must have gotten a shity mothers bar...this meguiars one was a little tough to kneed but it got so much dirt off the paint I was shocked.

I also tried some of that meguiars plastic cleaner/polish and it worked pretty damn good on my worn headlights

The diaper rags are for buffing/polishing

Thanks guys for the comments...it was hot yesterday too I looked like I was sweatin to the oldies

 

i use the blackfire clay bar...its the ****, i think its better than the mothers bar, but i prefer the mothers bar to the meguiars bar. i just did my stepdad's TT last night, i did clay bar, 3M imperial hand glaze, Blackfire polish, Klasse sealant glaze, Blitz caranuba wax and then sealed it in with the Meguiars NXT wax. it looked like a mirror.

 

looks pretty good meng

 

sheeebus.. that came out good

 

Your pix are getting better and better... nice work Ken.

 

so fresh and so cleannnnn cleannnnnn...

Yea already added to my "to do list"

But I think the polish is the key in the detailing process...last time all I did was clay and wax I noticed a hell of a lot better results this go round. Now the question remains how long will this last?

I had nxt and after 3-4 months there was no shine

 

this man is the master of clean


nice pics ken
