Default IS350 Photos After Detail

After two weeks of ownership of my 2007 IS350, I was finally able to dedicate some time to detailing it!

Here is my process:

EXTERIOR
1) Sonax Wheel Cleaner + Meguiars Endurance.
2) Wash with Meguiars Gold Class.
3) Mother's Clay Bar.
4) Wash with Meguiars Gold Class.
5) Meguiars Tech Wax 2.0 NXT.
6) Optimum Spray Wax.

INTERIOR
1) Wipe down surfaces with Simple Green.
2) Meguiars Ultimate Interior Protectant.
3) Meguiars Leather Treatment.
4) Mother's Back to Black on all moldings.
5) Vacuum mats.

I had a little bit of time before my kids got home, so I took a few photos:

if you put it on very thin, its not greasy. i usually just put it on the corner of a rag and then rub it in. a little goes a long way. very good stuff, in my opinion. turns your trim 'back to black'...literally.

That back to black stuff really works very well.
Used it on my previous ride's exterior (mirrors, moldings etc) worked like a charm. Acidic stains and sun burn gone.
Never tried on the interior tho..
