First '08 Habanero Red Sedan
So this is my 1 week old beauty...here's the process and products I used....

Wash with Schmitt GS with CG Wash and Gloss via Foam Gun
Clay with CG Blue clay and Luber clay lube
Wash again with Schmitt GS and CG Wash and Closs via Foam Gun
CG Pro-Polish on blue pad via UDM
Menzerna PO85RD on gray pad via UDM
Danase Wet Glaze on red pad via UDM
CG JetSeal 109 on red pad via UDM
CG Wet Mirror Finish on blue pad via UDM
CG 50/50 wax with MF applicator

The wheels were cleaned with S100 and then dressed with CG Wheel Guard.
The tires were dressed with HT Grape and the wheel wells were dressed with CG Bare Bones.

Interior was just a wet MF towel.


It has an amazing pop and wet look to it! Too bad the sun was pretty much down when I took these pictures but I'll take more tomorrow and post them!

Absolutely gorgeous. Your car is stunning. Never saw Habi red look so good. Gotta love the products you used too. Chemical Guys FTW. Thanks for sharing.

I would offer to pay you to detail my car if you were local lol. That's some dedicated detailing you did. I don't have much patience to do all of that to my car. A simple wash and Meguiar's wax and detailing spray with MF cloth is the most I've done so far. All of those detailing supplies you have must've cost good money too

Great looking shine and reflection. Don't see too many Habis with that kind of relection just due to the nature of the color. Very nice

+1 sunset is definitely the best time of day for the Habi.

OP: VERY nice job. I'm hoping my Habi sedan will look this good once I've had a chance to do a full detail. Question for you: how much crap did the clay bar pick up off of the new paint?

Damn, I didn't even notice you were from PA. I'm a little far away from Bucks County, though; on the Western side, near Jonnstown.
