Default Memorial Day Weekend Detailing

I was going to post this sooner, but I was lazy to get the pics off the camera. The S2k was badly in need of TLC so it got a nice detailing on Memorial day weekend. I'm not a professional hardcore detailers like some on this site, but I think it turned out pretty well just using OTC(over the counter) products you can find at your local auto parts store.

Products Used:

Exterior:
Meguiar's NXT GENERATION CAR WASH
Blue magic convertible top cleaner
Mother's Clay bar kit
Porter Cable 7424
5.5" CCS Smart Pads
-Light Cutting
-Polishing
-Finishing
Meguiar's ULTRA CUT COMPOUND
Meguiar's SHOW CAR GLAZE
ZYMOL CREAME WAX
Meguiar's NXT INSANE SHINE TIRE COATING
Meguiar's NXT metal polish

Interior:
Meguiar's GOLD CLASS LEATHER CLEANER & CONDITIONER
Meguiar's NXT glass cleaner

All in all this took about 5 hours. I forgot to take interior pics but below are the results. C & C welcome

Wow! Only 5 hours. All of that would have taken me at least two full days. I hate getting old!

Well done!

I liked the Zymol Creme a lot better than the Mother's and Meguire's NXT wax. Seemed to go on more evenly.
