This is my brother`s car, yes we share DNA and have the same parents. :) The car has not been washed in YEARS. I waxed it in 98, to my knowledge that is the only time it has ever been waxed.



Before on the interior, this after I cleaned out everything "big."

Afer on the interior, i replaced the floormats so keep that in mind. The vinyl is dressed with meguiars natural shine (maroon bottle). On the interior carpets I used an APC with the little green clean machine. Some of the grass had welded itself to the carpet so......

Here is the exterior after. I spent almost 2 hours cleaning just the wheels, they could use about 2 more. I used an acid based wheel cleaner and an assortment of brushes.



On the paint, I washed, clayed, DACP w/ yellow meg`s pad @5.5, then topped with NXT. I was tired, I started about 9:00 and finished up around 4:30.

You are a great brother. I always think it`s fun to do a car like that every so often just for the before and afters.



The people who designed those wheels (and BBS, some BMW wheels etc...) will spend the fiery eternal detailing their own wheels armed with only QD and Kleenex:D

Nope, just a favor.
