Post My first detail

This weekend I did my first ever detail for any car. I lurked here in W&W for awhile and tried to read up as much as possible on what I should do. I think the results were pretty good!

I did wash/clay/wax. Also, I apologize in advance because I don't have a fancy camera and I'm not very good at taking pictures

No need to apologize for those photos! The car looks great, by the way.

Thanks for the comments and thanks wanabe for the badge

For the engine bay, I used Meguiar's All-Purpose Cleaner diluted 1:1 and then Meguiar's Hyper-Dressing diluted 2:1. I had heard good things about CD2, but I couldn't find any, so I tried the Meguiar's instead - it was great, and I'm sticking with it now!
