The first full detail...
Finally got around to fully detailing my almost two month old GG FA5. Heres the steps I took:

- Washed with the two-bucket method w/ NXT wash
- Clayed with meguiars clay kit
- Meguiar's DC1
- Meguiar's NXT 2.0

Didn't have time to take great pictures but I feel after 4 hours of work it turned out pretty darn good (and yes that a TC in a couple of the reflections...my girlfriends ride)









My new floor mat covers:

My new 10 dollar shift boot from AutoZone

Looks a little bit better in person. It will make do until I decide which nicer one I want to go with. I just hate the stock one so this will do for now.

Thanks. Yeah, I usually vacuum it at least 3 times a week and keep a swiffer in my door pocket. I've been told i'm a bit anal....

I think it supposed to be sunny tomorrow so I'm definitely going to go out and take some pictures. GG is completely different in the sun

I'm loving the clear bra so far, although I went with the ventureshield over the 3M. Have been extremely happy with it so far
