Default Clean Black IS300

Hey All,

A few weeks ago I was back home so I decided to give my mom's very dirty and neglected is300 a wash. The car is about 4 or 5 years old now and has some pretty nasty swirls and dings, etc. Unforunately, I don't own a PC yet so I couldn't get rid of the oxidation and swirls. Despite this, I think I did a pretty good job.

Here what I used:

Exterior:

Wash: Meguiars Gold Shampoo
Wheels: Sonus wheel cleaner
Undercarriage, etc: Simple green automotive degreaser (diluted 50:50 with water)
Clayed: Meguiars
Drying: Cal water blade, waffle weave towel
Wax/polish: Klasse (haven't purchased the klasse SG yet or any fancy carnuba wax)
Tires: Sonus tire gel
Engine bay: automotive degreaser and CD2
Windows: Stoners Glass

Interior:
Vaccumed
Wiped down interior with wet rag
Vinyl bits: 303 protectant
leather: Zaino Z9 and z10 cleaner and conditioner
carpet: some no name foam I bought at the grocery store

BEFORE:







AFTER:









THE OTHER BEASTS I WORKED ON THAT WEEKEND:



Do I get a wash and wax badge now??

Wanabe handles the badges but you have my vote and with those results you shouldn't have a problem getting one.

great before and after pics and fantastic detail job!!

not the traditional method of asking for a badge, but good enough with your report and pics!

your well deserved badge is now on your post above (and also in the first post of any other threads that you post in)- welcome to the club!!

That is the thread to my wash/wax/detailing post. Hopefully I'll have enough cred to join the club too.
