Good job, how long did it take you? I did that once a few months back it took like 4 hours!

guy321: First wash & dry (45min), then clay-bar (120min), then wax (180min)...

Total: 5:45min (Do it once every 3 months...) Then once a week a 45min wash and dry, and every other week a quick wax... When needed a quick detail...

CortC - what are you using on the black molding on the car? Such as bottom half of side mirrors & lower bumper? Pic #7 is freakin incredible!

I tend to get wax on these areas, I use back to black by meguiers and it looks good as new!

poolsidenaz: Actually, nothing... After I wash I make sure not to get any wax on it then just wipe it down with the same cloth I use to buff out the quick detailer...

gotta give my recommendation to the Mothers back to black - it works really great on the plastic parts that accumulate wax and stuff.

The wax job looks great! But I am curious about your awesome wheels. What brand/model are they?

I noticed that your brake covers are corroded a little bit. Mine have done the same thing when I applied the wheel cleaner that takes all the brake dust off and other grime.

Is there any way to replenish the cover to its original state? Or do you think I could paint over it?

It is a system that is used to remove embedded contaminates from your paint... It consist of a piece of clay and some form of lubricant, as you rub the clay on the paint after applying the lubricant it removes the contaminates and leaves the paint ready for further detailing such as polish and/or wax...
