This is exactly how I would clean my car....if I had a house. haha

mpower4life · 06-14-2011, 01:34 PM

did you find a place that had all the cleaning supplies or did you have to shop around at different places. If you have one that you prefer could you please refer me to the right place to go?

What did you use on your steering wheel? Looks pristine and not shiny.

BTW great job. I think your car is perfect. Maybe some LCI tails

Excellent job!

Just curious, what's that bolted to your right strut bar?

I fell into that Chemical Guys bandwagon when I was looking into detailing. There's a store bout 40 minutes away from me that sells their stuff. I got most of my stuff there initially, but have since bought everything online such as www.detailersdomain.com and www.autogeek.net It'll be a good idea to wait till they have a sale.

I've never done anything to the steering wheel heh. Using the Leather Masters stuff lightly will work well though. Won't be shiny.

That's just the KW Coilover EDC module that fools the car into thinking you still have EDC hooked up so you wont get an error on your dash.
