Detailer's Domain 06 C2S Deep Blue Wetness

This was a treat a 2006 Lapis Blue C2S. This was a full detail. (sorry no interior shots forgot to take them) The car was in good shape but as you will see there are swirls and imperfections. Interior was in great shape need a nice vacuum, leather cleaning/conditioning and wipe down.

Products Used:
Adam's Car Wash
Adam's Clay Bar with Adam's Detail Spray as lube
Adam's VRT
Adam's Glass Cleaner
Adam's Undercarriage
Adam's Metal 1 and Metal 2
P21S Wheel Cleaner Gel
P21S Autowash
Menzerna 106FA
Swissvax Cleaner Fluid
Swissvax Concorso
Einszett Leathercare
Einszett Cockpit
Einszett Detail Spray

Tools:
3m Sun Gun
Brinkman Xenon Portable
Metabo 12-175
Tons of towels

Procedure:
Exterior:
1. Rinsed down the wheels (they were cool enough to touch)
2. Sprayed down the wheels with some P21S Wheel Cleaner
3. Sprayed down the wheel wells and tires with P21S Autowash
3. Brush and cleaned the wheels and tires with a Boar's Hair Brush
4. Rinsed down the wheels, tires, and wheel wells
5. Rinse the car down
6. Used the foamgun (Adam's Car Wash) to apply soap, let it sit and then
7. Used the Shmitt to wash the car, from top to hood to sides to rear.
8. Rinse car off throughly
9. Spritz some Adam's Detail Spray on the car and dried off the car.
10. Brought the car in and proceeded to clay the car using Adam's Clay Bar and Detail Spray
11. Used the Metabo with the Menzerna 106fa to polish out all the minor imperfections. (blue pad) a few passes per panel at 1500 rpm (Metabo rotary)
12. After each section was corrected I buffed off the excess polish with a MF Buffing Towel.
13. Applied Swissvax Cleaner Fluid and removed with MF Towel (removed after you apply in small sections, you don't want this to dray up)
14. Applied Swissvax Concorso by hand and let sit for about 10-13 minutes, buffed off to a nice wet and deep shine with a MF Towel
15. Cleaned up the windows with Adam's Glass Cleaner (interior/exterior)
16. Dressed the tires with Adam's VRT
17. Dressed wheel wells with Adam's Undercarriage Spray
18. Used Adam's Detail Spray to do a final wipe down on the wheels.
19. Used the 1Z Detail Spray for a final wipe down and inspected the car.
20. Polished up the tips with Adam's Metal 1 and Metal 2.

Interior:
Vacuumed the Trunk, Dressed the covers in the trunk area.
Vacuumed the Interior
Cleaned and conditioned the Leather treated with Einszett Leathercare

Wiped down the door jambs with Adam's Detail Spray

The way Teamspeed resizes pictures sure doesn't do this car justice. I bet the full size pics are amazing. Looks great.
