My Morning Detail..

Did a little detail this morning...took about 3.5 hours.

1. Blew out interior then vacuumed, wiped down interior ect..
2. Optimum Power Clean -Wheels, tires and fender wells
3. Foamed car
4. 2 Bucket wash with wool mitt




5. Blow dry


6. Optimum Instant Detailer


7. Soap and water to clean windows
8. Optimum Tire Shine
9. Adams VRT for front rubber splitter

And done:








The paint is in great shape and I waxed last week. I had a correction done recently by a local detail pro David F. I am just maintaining his amazing work.

Thanks guys for checking it out.

Ken

Greg Nichols is infamous around these parts
If you had David Fermani do the work, you are lucky man! What wax/sealant did you have him use?

Looks great!

Cheers,
GREG

David is the BEST in S. Florida. I'm unsure what wax/sealant he used, he did recommend the Optimum products though.

Thanks Ed, thing about r black cars is they ALWAYS need a wash. I just got some Pinnacle paint cleanser and Souverän paste, can't wait to try it out.

Good work. Always great to see owners taking price in their car's appearance.

Thanks Moe, i am trying to keep the paint in top condition. As a daily driver it's tough.

My Clr bra has some swirls, any recommendations? I was thinking of trying swirl x on it. But want to get some feedback first.
