    Detailers! show off your work *56k beware*

    I know most of you take care of your accords, but I was wondering if there were any detailers on here besides typeg, either professional or just for your personal car? If there are any post up some pictures of your work!

    I'll start with some work in progress pics from my cb7 when I was removing all the oxidation.



    A before and after of a celica I worked on:

        Personally, I washed the car twice with soap water, then dryed it off and clayed it, then polished it, then waxed it.

            LOL yeah same here, I haven't washed mine in awhile since I'm at school, so it looks like shit right now. I'm eventually gonna buy a PC car polisher though so it'll look even better.

              I dont have any close ups, but I tend to think I do alright when I wash and wax it.

                The accord was done almost a year ago, but I believe it was wash, clay with yellow mothers clay bar, polished with Optimum compound with a yellow pad and rotary buffer, followed with a orange pad and menzerna intensive polish, finished with menzerna final polish and a white pad, and waxed with DP max wax

                Celica
                -washed with DP extreme foam with a foam gun
                -clayed with pinnacle poly-ultra clay
                -washed again with Optimum no rinse
                -polished with menzerna intensive polish
                -paint was sealed with Jeff werkstatt acrylic jett
                -topped off with DP Max Wax

                -Rims were cleaned with meguiars rim brightener
                -DP wheel glaze applied for protection
                -Optimum tire shine

                      do you recommend that new ICE synthetic polish? That's what i used on my mom's Toyota Sienna van and it shined it up nicely. But as for durability/protection, how does it stack up to waxes? ie: Nanowax or Meguiars NXT gen. wax?

                        Never tried it before since I have more then enough waxes right now, but I haven't heard much about compared to the meguiars nxt 2.0, which everyone seems to love.
