Everything looks good and your steps are in the correct order. BTW, what color do you have? If you have NHBP or FBP, I would highly suggest you use Meguiar's #7 Show Car Glaze to bring out the depth in the paint as well as nourish it.

NHBP so don't get the new car, get the show car right?

Looks like a nice set up. Take pictures. Autogeek can tell you nearly anything you need to know.

I would. As soon as I got my car, I washed, clayed, did Meguiar's #7 Show Car Glaze, Wolfgang EXP paint sealant and Natty's Blue carnauba wax. The new car glaze is good, but the #7 will look oh so much better on NHBP.

Here's a thread I did when I first got my Si and detailed it: My new FBP Si Sedan and my Nitrous G35

FYI, i hate the place but wal-mart has the meguiars clay bar for 15 bucks, definitely the cheapest i have seen.

asndragonboii · 05-06-2008, 07:47 PM

^ why do you hate it? They have so many things for so much cheaper than other places.

kenchan · 05-06-2008, 08:14 PM

yep, like a 5qt jug of Mobil1 for $23. :)

Went to walmart..they had nothing.

drahgon · 05-06-2008, 09:42 PM

i suggest some tire shine and some metal polish for your exhaust tip!

edit: see :)

Another not-so-happy Walmart story..

I Vtec, do you? · 05-06-2008, 09:57 PM

You call that an arsenal?

I need to go take a pic of everything I bought. I swear, I'm probably rivaling a professional detailer in terms of all the stuff I have haha. Ok well maybe not, but I have quite a bit!

But yes, that stuff looks good. I've yet to find a place that really stocks Meguiar's show car stuff, though.

kenchan · 05-06-2008, 11:57 PM

tire shine can withstand that kind of heat?

yeah, I use it. You can use dressing for the exterior too. Just don't leave runs. wipe off the excess.
