Detailed the car last night - Pics!
Detailed the car last night, finished up this morning, so I thought I'd share some pics. My photography skills suck, but I am very pleased with the results. I also installed clear side markers. I used the following (no affiliation, just what I used... this time):
Paint (Body and rims - after a wash)
Griots clay and Speed Shine
Ultima Paint Prep Plus Polish
Ultima Paint Guard Plus Sealant
Tires
Griots Rubber Cleaner
Griots Long Lasting Tire Dressing
Griots Udercarriage Spray (wheel wells)
Black plastic trim and bumpers
Armor All Low gloss
Glass
Stoner Invisible Glass
Plastic Window and Headlights/Tail lights
Griots Plastic Cleaner and Polish
Exhaust Tips
Mothers Polish (they will come off soon and be done better)

The detail time involved really isn't that much, and I actually enjoy it, it's my occasional needed "therapy" session.

No Armour All on the interior - EVER. I should have been more clear, the only Armor All I use is cleaner/low gloss on the exterior black plastic trim (bumpers, plastic cowl by wipers, black mirror housing...). It does a nice job cleaning off the splattered wax/polish.

Don, looks fantastic. I have yet to tackle such an in depth cleaning of my babies. Definitely worth the effort tho.
Oh, I thought pics were good. I get similar comments because of my poor photo skills, oh well, we all can't be bozo the clown...

Very nice! I spent all afternoon detailing my summer Twist rims. I finally got all those wheel weight sticker residue off! Boy I'm still tired! That Tarminator stuff really works.
