The car looks gorgeous! Man, you use a lot or product. How long did this whole detail take you? I gotta learn how to clean my carpet/mat. Great writeup. That Dodo juice Supernatural looks groovy. How do you use the 303? Is it just a spray on and wipe off?

Thanks SR!! Glad you also enjoyed the write up as it does take a bit of time.

Yeah, I have quite a bit of stuff!

Just about 14 hours...

Supernatural IS THE BOMB... it is a bit pricey at $200

303: I actually spray it on an applicator and just wipe on and then gently buff off if needed.

Thanks again!

Yeah, I just recently joined. I actually knew about these forums for a while through Patrick but I didn't feel up to signing up here since I was so preoccupied with team-integra.net. Of course, I'm like never on those forums anymore and I'm always on detailing forums instead, hehe.

Do you own an Acura as well Jason? I don't recall if you did or not.
