Default Did a little full detailing while i was home today...
Started off with a full clay bar treatment... worked the whole car over to perfection... next on to fine machine polish with the orange pad, then the super machine wax with black pad... while that was setting i VRT'd the tires and polished up the CCW's with Adams's #2 polish... This baby is smooth as glass, smells great and looks even better....



yep it buffed right out....

Yesterday spent the whole day detailing the Squirrel by hand. Then went to GTG last night. Thought I did great job. Then illmac77 points out I didn't shine the tires. Damn!
Thanks buddy!
