Default Claybar/Pre-wax/Sealant&Glaze/Wax Pics

First off, I apologise if it's not a luxury car but I figured there are some car enthusiasts here so here goes.

It's a 2005 Prius in Tideland Pearl. This would be the first claybar application.

It was done over two days since I think the sealant and glaze needs to "cure" or something. The pure carnuba wax was added on the second day. Here are the results:

haha.. thanks guys.

Yeah sorry about the tyre dressing. I did wax it again last week (this was from July) WITH tyre dressing. I'll get pics asap (it needs a wash already >.< Why is it so damn dusty).

Looks great! What products did you use? I agree with leedogg, it looks much better AFTER the tire dressing.
