Detailed my detailing vehicle this weekend...

[weekendwarrior]

I decided to take the time yesterday to get my detailing vehicle all cleaned and sealed. The process went like this...

Dawn wash on wheel wells, wheels, tires, and undercarriage.
QEW wash to exterior followed by Meg's white clay.
Polished with Menzerna P203S with the Flex and a Green LC German pad.
Zaino AIO with the PC, Green German 5.5" LC pad.
Z6 wipedown
50 / 50 mix of ZFX'd Z2 / Z5 with a shot of Z8

Plastic panels got 303 (there are a couple of places you'll see in the pics where the 303 dried unevenly, and I need to touch up).
Wells and tires got Hyper Dressing 2:1
Wheels wiped down with DG Aquawax

Afters:










No muted flake

Looks great!! Hey do you keep your supplies inside or tow in a trailer? Just curious... I always thought that this honda would be great for someone to detail out of.. The doors make it so easy to have access.

I keep supplies inside the Element. I use the hitch to tow my utility trailer for doing projects around the house, and trips to the landscape supply store.

Edit - I bought a garage central vacuuming system from Shop Vac a while back. This is a unit designed to be mounted on the garage wall, and it has a 25' hose for reaching around a garage. I installed this unit in the back of the Element, and keep the hose rolled up at the back tailgate. I can back the Element up to the car I'm working on, and I don't even have to unload, and relaod my vacuum at a job anymore. I mounted a heavy duty power strip inside the Element. When I get to a job, I run 1 cord from the customer's house to the Element, then run all my tool out of the power strip in the Element. It works well, and makes clean up so much easier, because I don't have to reload a lot of stuff into the Element when I'm done.
