    Exclamation A little early.

    I by no means planned a full blown detail today. I was not even going to wash today. BUT..... around 3pm it was just overcast and nice out. No strong sun. Well, its done!

    Products used. All by hand.

    Engine: Was done already. Sonus motor/trim coat.
    Wash: CG red. Two bucket wash. Figured it would strip/clean it. It did. Great soap.
    Tires/wheels: Megs 4:1
    Interior: DP protectant. Opticlean carpet cleaner. DP leather cleaner/cond. STONERS INVISIBLE GLASS.
    Paint: PRIMA AMIGO. white hand pad. Got to love amigo. Leaves a stunning finish ready for wax/sealant.
    LSP: Had some PRIMA HYDRO SEAL left over. Used it. Got to love this too! No drama. Love the look!
    Trim: Cleaned with MOTHERS TRIM CLEANER. Props here. Great product. Finished with WGTS.
    Glass: DP glass coat.
    Wheels: DP wheel coat.
    Tires: DP tire gel.

    All in the frame of 4-4.5 hours. Going to be sore tomorrow i bet.

    No pics, it was getting dark. But i swear it looked better than when i picked it up new.

    Forgot to mention. Tuff shine tire brush. OMG buy one! No brush has ever cleaned my tires better!

    Getting old. lol. I did spend some more time on it this morning. That stuff takes time!! One time saver is if you can find a good AIO. I like the amigo tho. And the hydro seal is so easy to apply. The trim takes forever.

    Re: A little early.

    I am glad its done. I had several choices this spring.
    1. BF P&S
    2. DP paint coating
    3. DP max wax
    4. DP paint sealant

    But something about the look and durability of prima. The amigo preps the paint, then on to the hydro seal. Plus i wanted to use up the remaining hydro seal i had. Now i do have the new HYDRO MAX. Just like hydro seal, only even eaiser to apply. Great part now is, it will be easy to maintain with HYDRO WAX AS YOU DRY. Their products are easy to use and provide great results.

    Re: A little early.

    This is a true sickness. I have to stop. Beautiful morning. So I am out there coating the outside window mouldings with WGTS and hit the spare tire underneath with CG trim gel. I dont think I left any stone unturned on that xterra!!
