Hey, its all in the handling. The best looking car will not necessarily be the one with the most features (or dare I say form), but the one with the best handling and detail. Go to it.



BTW: The lumina should provide excellent and relatively trouble free transportation, so use it well and it should pay off dividends.
 
AutoNova: Do you really find that that liquid clay works as well as a traditional clay bar?



I haven't used the liquid clay myself, but I have read a review or two, which questioned its effectiveness.
 
yes I think it is actually more effective when it comes to actually cleaning the paint, it won't neccessarily remove heavy stuff like overspray but if cleans well and is actually somewhat fun to use. The only downside is you have to saok the sponge for 5 min in warm water so if your mobile that is tough.

how many average vehicles (about the size of that lumina) will a can of that do? Where can we find this stuff? I might just have to give it a try on my envoy when I finally get around to doing the first "full autopian detail" on it this spring since it isn't really THAT dirty.



Can't hurt, worst that can happen is I go back over it with a regular claybar. :xyxthumbs
 
Geez, that interior was rough! Looks a lot better and the paint looks great! Beside the Aero-clay, what other steps and products were required?



I know how you feel when you get cars like that. Right after washing a BMW 745Li, Ford Expidition and a Rolls Royce Phantom, I had that nasty Cavalier (the one with the horrible interior) to wash. Since I detailed the inside, she has me wash and vacuum it about once a month when I am their office. No new stains but the amount of trash and debris I remove from it each time is astounding!
 
I did the interior first to allow tiwme for it to warm up outside.

I used compressed air to blow the car out and then vaccumed it.

Then I sprayed the carpet down with a fine misting of APC 15:1.

After that i used my steamer and went over the carpets and the front 2 seats.

Then I used my LGCM and spayed a light mixture of Zep/water and vaccumed it up.

I cleaned the interioir with APC and the Meg's interior brush then dressed it with #40.

Onthe outside I cleaned the wheels with wheel brightener Meg's brushes and a #0000 steel wool, dressed with hyper. I also used the Magic Eraser wheel cleaner(it sucks)

Washed the exterior with Hyper wash, using a bug sponge along the runner boards and wheel wells and front bumper, then used the Meg's Body Brush to wash.

Used the Aero-Clay on hood, roof, trunk then waxed with PwC.
