Here's the before pictures. the car wasn't too dirty since it had been recently washed.



















So i decided to wash with Citrus Wash N Gloss to remove any previous wax the car may have had. And i sprayed on P21s Gel and let it dwell for about 30 minutes. unfortunately the car had some kind of factory-installed sealant (teph-seal) that i was going to have to remove. and after the wash i went with my special yellow clay and CG Synthetic QD for lube to remove all the contaminants. for the car being so new, i was surprised that it was pretty contaminated!

Before clay





after clay





























before/after







After polishing with 85RD





















Before/after of the exhaust. I decided to use #0000 steel wool and 1Z chrome Polish for this







Before/after shots of each wheel. for this i used the Mother's Powerball and Mother's Billet polish, and followed that up with 1Z chrome Polish. then topped that all off with 2 layers of Swissvax Autobahn.












Finished!!!
