LOL!!!!!! Since when did doctors drive ricers? I just dont think I could ever detail a riced out vehicle.

Great job OP! Can you give more info on what you used to polish the metal?

This doesn`t look to be in the US. In many other countries, only the top 5% of the population even own a car.

Thanks for your encouragement Roshan! :bigups

You are right... we are in Mauritius, :) plenty of sun, sand, sea and swirls..... :inspector:

Actually i used a "no-name" paste wax that was available locally. don`t have a polish for alloy. so i tried on a small section with a microfiber cloth, thanks God, it worked out so well. I did all the wheels.

So the car wax polished the exhaust tips? I`m confused as to how that`s possible? :help:

The exhaust pipe was cleaned with Bilt Hamber surfex from UK, at a dilution of 1:10 approx.

Used the wax on the wheels.

Thanks so much Todd, you`ve been an inspiration to my detailing journey, starting right from the old TID forum.

Sadly, I wasnt too smart at once and bought one from a friend. From what he did to it, the car lasted less than a year. It was fun to see what people did when they saw it. None the less this car got a much needed cleaning. Very impressive.

See, I too was a ricer once. So I like to laugh a little bit at cars that remind me of my past. I loved this car, until the suspension gave out after dropping some puppies we found off at the ASPSA. I donated it to a charity. http://i45.tinypic.com/s42vyf.jpg
