Full Meguiar's Car Wash/Detail
So, Almost 7 hrs. and $100 bucks later, I gave my Stang the bath of it's life!! It was a long process, consisting of five or six steps, but WOW!! The results are worth the work!! Wash, clay, wash, polish, wax, quik detailer...what's that, like six steps actually!! I'm a believer though...what do you guys think?
Seriously, the pictures don't do it justice. I could see myself like in a mirror!! It's crazy...

Beautiful! That color looks incredible with a little bit of care.
The weather is supposed to be 75 and sunny here Saturday, I plan on doing the exact same with mine..clay, polish, glaze, wax, and CRUISE IT!
Did you do it by hand or do you have an electric polisher?

Seriously, I've always been a little weary of using the polishers. I'm afraid they will burn the clear coat. I guess if I was properly trained, if do it. But my Coyote is not going to be my Ginny Pig!!
Have fun this weekend...supposed to be beautiful!!!

Car looks good, last Friday when I finished my two day detail the car didn't leave the garage until Monday morning (had 8" of snow Thurs/Fri and then sloppy roads after that though)

Just curious because im far from an expert but what is the point of using quick detailer right after wax? I thought the point of that is to use between waxing for dust etc? Seems like a step you didn't need to do

Looking great. I'm a Meguiar fan boy myself. I use the #2 Polish and the Show Car Glaze along with the Carnauba Paste Wax. I only use the Quick Detailer when I have water spots that need to be taken care of. I need to do a clay bar process this weekend and get all that stuff off that settles on the paint during the winter.

Nice job. If you think that's good, wait till you've seen a car that's been fully clayed using a clay pad (instead of bar), then deswirled and polished using a DA or rotary with at least a 2 step approach with appropriate foam pads and polishes, then glazed at least 2 coats, then sealed at least 2 coats, then Nuba coated at least 2 coats.... Then you'll be truly amazed
