And after all of that was done, I waxed the car with 2 layers of nxt 2.0 tech wax. For the large areas I put the wax on with the polishing machine, and for the smaller areas I used another microfiber applicator. I let the wax dry for about a half hour before I took it off and applied the second layer. During this time I also cleaned out the inside of the car, but it stays clean so there wasn't much to that. After I wiped off the second coat, I took some finishing shots.

Back with a few of the products used:

Side with almost everything I used (minus microfiber towels other pads on the machine, wash mitt and ultimate quick detailer for future use. )

I owe pretty much all of this to my "sponsors" Mike-in-orange and maxcichon. Without those two none of this would be possible, nor would I be as obsessed with the car as I am without their misdirection. So, can't thank you guys enough!! I owe ya.

I'm exhausted now, but it was totally worth it. It's awesome to have it looking so clean. I had about 10 people comment on how nice it looked and how well I take care of it. Even my roomate, who had previously made fun of me for cleaning off swirls and said no one could see them, was amazed at the difference. Even before I got them all off he came out and looked at it and said, "holy crap, I can actually see exactly what you were talking about!" I knew it would make a difference, but until I finished I didn't realize exactly how much. For anyone who is thinking about doing this, do it. Set aside a weekend and make your baby look like new!

I'm in love all over again!
