Thanks! This is what I did on the car: All Meguiar's products!

1. Wash the car with NXT Car Wash
2. Clay
3. #83 Dual Action Cleaner/Polish with dual action polisher for remove swirls and minor scratches
4. #80 Speed Glaze with dual action polisher for remove swirls and restore shine
5. Apply #7 Show car Glaze (Pure polishes) by hand
6. Finally apply NXT Tech Wax (synthetic wax) using dual action polisher

Wipe everything with microfiber towel.

I know this is not the correct forum, but if anyone in So Cal interest to learn how to proper detail your car, Meguiar's teaches detail class by professional detailer. Up coming class is Nov 4th and Nov 11th in Irvine. If anyone interest, let me know. btw, it's FREE.

Acurazine members also have our own detail class this December; however, the class is FULL.

Probably not. I like the shiny chrome looks. It might look too black for my taste.

I noticed on one of the pictures up there, that the pillars arent cracked and are shiney as a mo fo, did you wax that the same way you waxed your car or are they just naturally shiney or what, cause I have a 99 tl and its not even close to that, all cracked and disgusting. And how long did it take you to finish everything plus the wash.

NBP is amazing.. especially if fully washed and detailed, they have the cleanest and the slickest shine.. its a black mirror!

love the way your car reflects everything around it!
