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.
