Was slow day at work today so took the time to detail all of our cars!!! Pics inside

So was bored at work today so me and the other mechanic decided to detail our cars as well as the owners car. Hopefully when he comes tomorrow we will score brownie points. He is on vacation right now and left his car in the shop till monday.

Process is claybar first to remove all contaminants. Then meguires cleaner wax to remove clay residue as well as further contaminants. Then meguires nxt 2.0 wax. Finally hit it with spray detailer to bring out the shine and remove any residue left from last wax coat.

Used back to black on all the plastic and meguires scratchx on the headlights and taillights.

Then used armorall extreme tireshine on the tires.

Then stoners invisible glass on obviousely all the glass inside and out. 2 things really make a car stand out more than anything is the glass and tires/rims. When you detail a car always make sure you hit those.

I have tried a lot of difference products and brands and found these to be the best for the easy of use and price.

I know i know. I was planning to but i took a 300 dollar a week paycut. My work is running a skeleton crew since business is really slow. So i have to hold off on rims for awile.

I have my eye on some 17 inch konig feathers. Maybe in black.

You're suppose to detail the owners car AFTER you've taken it out for a joy ride.

Shiny cars. I like that nxt stuff, works great.

Who makes the "back to black " stuff?
Also, what happens if you just use the cleaner wax? Isn't that enough?
Suppose you only want to do one coat of wax, would you use the cleaner wax or the nxt wax?

If you only going to use one coat use NXT wax then cleaner was is only used to clean the car the shine you get wont be as brilliant and wont last as long.
