Meguiars 3 step, with pics.

So i decided to try Meguiars 3 step system on my car, with pretty good results.

Exterior.
Wash with Dawn. Dry with microfiber towels.
Claybar with Meguiars Smooth Surface Clay kit.
Wash with Meguiars Deep Crystal Car Wash. Dry with microfiber towels.
Meguiars Step one Paint Cleaner.
Meguiars Step two Polish.
Meguiars Step three Caranuba Wax. I applied a total of 3 coats, spread 24 hours apart.

Wheels
Meguiars All Wheel Cleaner on wheels.
Mothers Powerball Mini and Mothers Liquid Aluminum Polish on wheels.
Meguiars Hot Shine Tire Conditioner on tires.
Simple Green and Armor All on wheels wells.

Engine
Sprayed my engine bay with Simple Green and washed it out.
Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish on intake elbow, fuel rails, AC components, and ECM.
Turtle Wax Ice on underside of hood.
Turtle Wax Ice on painted and plastic pieces in the engine bay and to the cowl and wiper pieces.

Interior
Vacuum
Meguiars Leather Cleaner and Conditioner on leather.
Armor All on plastic pieces.
Stoners Invisable Glass on all glass, interior and exterior.

What i like about this Meguiars Caranuba wax is the deep, warm look.

I also went to my first car show on sunday and came back with a 2nd place trophy.

Feedback is appreciated. Let me know what i can work on.

That car is SO not ten years old. It can't be. It just looks too new. Great job with the waxing and the cleaning. It's beautiful.

Trust me, there are plenty of imperfections, but i guess thats cause i own it and cause im looking for them.

Thanks for all the compliments though.
