Thought of sharing some work done on my car. The last full detail was on Oct 08; till today, its only washed and coupled with regular waxing every 2 weeks or so. The paint is not perfect. No major swirls but only odd random light scratches and the unavoidable water spots.
Since the workers doing the renovation took some time off to go deep sea fishing, I took the chance to clean my car.
So here goes.
Washing Stage:
Started by washing the engine bay.
Tools & Products used:
Pressure Washer
Air Compressor
Demoted MFs
Terry Towels
Numerous brushes
Osren APC (I ran out of Megs APC
)
D151 to do general cleaning
HyperDressing on rubber/plastic parts

NXT All Metal Cleaner for chrome bits
Before Pictures:
After Shots
After I've settled the engine part, I moved on to washing and sealing. Products and Tools Used:

I don't think I've ever seen one of those cars here in the States. How do you like the Hyper Wash? What is that like?
