So I started the process yesterday using mostly an array of Adam's products. The interior is vacuumed and all panels have been wiped and treated - the only thing left is to treat the seats. I removed the wheels so I could wash the barrels and easily access the calipers and fender liners for cleaning. I treated the fender liners with an Adam's Undercarriage Wash (smells delicious but annoyingly slippery to work with). I also detailed the engine bay, including removing all cowls for cleaning and Super VRT treatment, wiping down all visible lines and hoses, strut bar and engine cover removal and cleaning, wiping down intake piping and air box, and Super VRT treatment for all rubber weatherstripping and gaskets on the hood and in the engine compartment.

Today on the docket is wash, clay, polish 1, polish 2, glaze, sealant wax, buttery wax. Whee!

Good times!

The car was so dirty it took two hours to wash. I used three different wash mitts. Even at 9 am the Texas sun is friggin' hot! I pulled the car into the garage and will continue with clay after lunch
