    I post this on a few other forums but thought I would bring it over, i did this a few weeks ago



    So i havent posted in a while since i havent been able to detail due to moving. So today i finnaly got some time to work on a car, i scheduled the guy who did my web site 9 (i would do his car if he did my site.. i thought it was a good trade).

    So its a perlecent orange eclipse, its a cool little car.



    Proccess:



    Spray down with p21 total auto wash

    P21s wheel cleaner (left on while washed car, all the grime came right off)

    Filled the bucket with water and added qew

    QEW`d the whole car

    QEW wheels and wells

    Dried

    Clayed using poli-clay, it wasnt strong enough so i moved onto VW clay (its not aggresive but a little more then poly clay).

    Wipe off clay lube

    Zymol HD-Cleanse the whole car (reminded me to do a review)

    cleaned windows

    applied VW concoours wax (man i love this wax)via foam appicator pad.



    Then idid the inside, it was a basic detail, nothing special so i didint get any pics.



    Here is the car before hand. it was nice and dirty, gota love calgary streets

    That was pretty dirty, always feels good when finished.

    Nice work!



    But would the VW concoours wax be able to stick to the paint in those lower temps?

    Thanks everyone, I really love the VW, it gives me the look I am lookinf for. pls I have had over 6 weeks protection on calgary winters (that is huge most waxes i get 3).

    I have found VW gives a deep look compared to a glossy look, makes the paint look a mile deep. :spot



    as for the bodning, I have had no issues, It was about 2degree C. when i did it. I had no problems, nothing was frozen and everything looks awsome. The wax bonded without a problem
