A couple of weeks ago I detailed a 2006 Honda Element and some of the products I used were Blackfire Wet Diamond Conditioning Shampoo, Blackfire Foam Gun, and Lake Country Wash Wedge.
The car was very dirty, since it is a daily driver, and it has not been washed in a couple months.

Only a couple ounces of the Blackfire Wet Diamond Conditioning Shampoo is needed for the wash bucket and the Blackfire foam gun container. A little goes a long way with this stuff!

A shot of water will activate the Blackfire shampoo and will create mounds of foam.

Rinse the car off well before using the foam gun.

Attach the foam gun to the hose and spray down the entire car.

The foam is anything but abundant and only an ounce of Blackfire Wet Diamond Conditioning Shampoo was put into the Blackfire foam gun.

Make sure you get the wash wedge wet in the wash bucket before you wipe down the car. The second bucket is used to rinse the dirt off the wedge.

Start from the top of the car and work your way down, making sure to rinse the wedge often to get the excess dirt off.

The wash wedge is a very useful tool to get in tight spaces, like under door handles.

Rinse the car off with water to wash away the dirt and foam. Then you can dry the car off with a Cobra Supreme Guzzler Waffle Weave Drying Towel to avoid water spots.
More products were used to bring the paint back to its natural shine, so there will be more threads coming up soon!
Here is a teaser of the finished car.

Stay tuned to see what else I did to achieve this great look!
