RX-8 needed help!

This car needed alot of help inside and out. It had never been clayed and under the hood, well...........take a look at the pics.

First off, Ill be the first one to say I am slow and still learning. Before I had any paying customers, my wife though I would never get one to help pay for all the detail stuff I recently purchased and you all know how quickly it turns into an obsession buying everything. Well, it seemed like everyone I asked said either there car gets washed when it rains or could I detail it for $25? I ended up offering a co-worker a deal. I would detail his RX-8 for $100. I was thinking how easy it should be since it is a small vehicle and he loves it so much. Boy was I wrong. The only thing I didnt do was shampoo the carpets and after the pics were taken, I sure wish I had. I actually burnt my DA up while doing this car! So with that being said, I didnt get it to 100%. Anyway....

Wash w/Dawn
Clay with Clay Magic
Orange LC w/Sip
White LC w/106FF
EX-P by hand
Stoners on glass
Purple power on engine, wheels and wells
Wheel wax on wheels
Tire Shine on tires
Back to black on all exterior trim
KAIO on all jambs and under the hood
CD-2 engine detailer
Woolite/water on leather, door panels and dash
Meguiars leather conditioner on seats
Meguiars Chrome polish on pipes
Wetsanded headlights with 600, 1000, 1500, 2000, then buffed with orange and SIP, then White and 106ff followed by KAIO by hand

Befores
