Default Labor of love

Just got done detailing the Cayenne yesterday. All day affair. Washed, clayed, sealer, trim and tires. Day went by so quickly. Only thing I didn't do was hit it with the orbital polisher. Actually a pretty fun day. Just waiting for rain to stop so I can apply a second coat of sealer. Will try to post a pic when I'm done.

You should post a pic, so we can tell you to hit it with the orbital polisher.

Curios to know what you used for tires, rims etc. I need to do the same as the wheels are pretty dirty and need to fully clean them so that I can apply some wax.

What do people use to treat the aluminum trim?

Meguiar's Gold Class leather wipes works good on interior aluminum trim and hides the fine scratches. It also leaves a protective coating which will last a few months.

Maguire's wheel cleaner followed up with tire gel is good I think. Mother's back-to-black trim restore is good on tires, if you're not wanting them to look too shiny.
