WOW! Fantastic job there! Looks great especially since white is a hard color to find imperfections in. Love that gloss. Thanks for sharing.

Looks great, thanks for sharing the pictures and the details. My GS needs a detailing day, which I plan to do as soon as we get a break from all of the rain.

Looks fabulous. Thanks for sharing. I've learned something from you --- using a detailing brush in the gas door area during a car wash. I always clean that area in every car wash but not as thorough as you did with a brush in that area. I use brushes in the door jams and the grooves surrounding the trunk during car wash though.
