What do you think?

I just finished detailing my car. After all the swirl marks and scratches (inside and out) from the idiots at the car wash, I decided to invest on some detailing products and do everything myself. I bought everything from autopia and used mostly Sonus products. I love this stuff, although very pricey (since the bottles are small), everything is very mild and cleans very well without scratching your car, great scent and easy to use. You can't put a price on a job well done and peace of mind. Here is what I used:



For washing and drying:

Genuine Wool Wash Mitt

OXO Wash Brush

Sonus Gloss Shampoo

Sonus Der Wunder Drying Towel



Tires:

OXO Tire & Wheel Brush

Sonus Rim Bright

Sonus Tire & Bumper Dressing Gel (also used on rubber moldings around the doors)

1-inch Round Natural Detail Brush



Leather interior:

Sonus SFX Professional Applicator

Sonus Leather Cleaner

Sonus Leather Conditioner



Vinyl and plastic:

Sonus Ultimate Detailing Towels

Sonus Cockpit Detailer

Sonus Total Eclipse

Two-Way Mini Detail Brush



Glass and Plastic:

Sonus Ultimate Detailing Towels

Sonus Vision Glass & Plastic Cleaner



Carpet and floor mats:

303 Carpet & Upholstery cleaner



Polishing:

Ultimate Detailing Machine DAS Polisher Kit

Sonus SFX-2 Enhance Swirl Remover

Sonus Paintwork Cleanser

Sonus Der Wunder Applicator

Sonus Ultimate Detailing Towels



Waxing:

Sonus Der Wunder Applicator

Sonus Ultimate Detailing Towels

Meguiars NXT Generation Tech Wax

Two-Way Mini Detail Brush and the Crack & Crevice Detail Brush to remove residues from hard to reach places.





Here are some pics I took. Tell me what you think. There was no sun out when I took the pics, so you can't appreciate the shine very much, but trust me, this stuff left my car looking very shinny and sharp.

Wow, you did go shopping heavy, awesome shine and wetness you got there and Welcome to Autopia! :goodjob

Thats a good looking ES350. Very nice shine.

Looks great, but FYI, NXT doesn't last long at all. If you want to keep up the shine and gloss, I'd use their booster wax after each successive wash, or just go with a longer lasting sealant/wax next go around. Looks very good, though :2thumbs:

I am using the Meguiar Ultimate quick detailer on the weekends after I wash it and it is keeping it up real nice. What I love about this wax is that it does not cover up the paint flakes on my car as many other waxes do such as Ultima or any Canuba wax.
