My wife and I decided to take on the Beas this weekend being that e haven't cleaned it up since before Christmas. We really went in on it. Being that my wife is OCD she handled the interior, trim, badges, wheels and exhaust. I took care of the paint.
Exterior:
Meguiars Gold Class
Meguiars Wash/ Wax

Interior:
Lexol Leather Cleaner
Lexol Leather Condition
Aerospace 303

Wheel/ Tires:
P21s Wheel Gel
Poor Boys Wheel Wax
303Aerospace

Tools:
PC
Shop Vac
VX 5000
Assorted Brushes
Lots of MF towels

I used some M205 on a Detailed Image Blue Pad to take out some really light swirls. Washed it. Then I applied some Chemicals Guys E-Z Creme. Washed it again. Them applied some Meguirs NXT Wax. The car came out flawless. I'm thinking it's about 90% clear. Hope you guys enjoy the pictures. Also please critique. I'm always open to defferent options or methods.

I hope you guys enjoy the pics.

+1 I have been married to my better half for 27 years and she has not even cleaned her own car even once. What is your strategy kindly share it with us. Oh, by the way, good work on your car.
