Default Washed car

Finally had some time, and some good weather to wash my car. Used Meguiars new product NXT Generation Car wash. Picked it up from Wal Mart for $4.00. Also grabbed a soap gun to wash the car quicker.

Steps taken:

Used masking tape on all rubber and vinyl straps on car
Hosed car down with water.
Washed and cleaned tires with Meguiars tire shine
Washed, brushed, and used Metallic cleaner on muffler tips with Meguiars all metal cleaner
Quick Detailer and clay bar.
Meguiars Paint cleaner step 1
Used Meguiar's NXT Generation car wash
Hosed car down with water again to release any contaminants
Meguiars Paint cleaner step 1
Clay bar with quick detailer
Meguiars polish step 2
Meguiars invisible glass on windows
Meguiars wax step 3.

I let the wax sit for about a good half hour before I finally took it off. This process took me about 4 1/2 hours. Pictures to come tomorrow!

nice and cold today too, btw u dont need to clay 2 times. did u use NXT wax or the wax that came with the kit? u should let the paint settle overnight and then put on another coat in the morning, looks so much better.

I know I don't need to clay twice, but I did it just for the elbow grease =] No, I only got the 640z bottle washing solution. BEAUTIFUL after work. Really gets into the contaminants on the paint and leaves a smoother, shinier, and more resilient look than the other cleaning solutions for Meguiars.
