The link should provide you with most of the materials they used.

Hopefully that answers all the questions. They are close friends of mine so they did it for a very cheap price or else it is probably around $150 for the detail.

damn for such a new car thats pretty dirty. the only time i ever let me car go a little is during the winter when its freezing and snowing out. other then that im at the car wash every week or other week. inside gets clean regularly. my car for the most part always looks as good as the day i drove it off the lot.

I've seen some good detailers do inside the fuel door before, but behind the license plate? That's awesome! Good job x1000000!

Wow !!! What a amazing job makes me wish I had hunted for a Starfire Pearl car in my price range harder the paint is amazing and the work they put into that detail is.. just priceless(well for the most part lol) May I ask how you cleaned your car yourself, Did you take it to car washes or handwash because for a '11 it seemed to have alot of swirls in the paint & taillights before the detail.

Good job! Car looks like new!

Question:

What did the guys use to polish the headlights? I thought you weren't supposed to touch the headlights with anything abrasive!
