Be sure you wash those Chenile wash mits from ChemicalGuys.com before you use them. The color of my rinse water after using one for the first time was akin to the obnoxious yellow/green Baylor uniforms. Hopefully the bleeding from the mit didn't stain my car.

Rather than kick up a new thread - I thought I'd share some pics of my car from this weekend.

* Armor all wash with foam gun (waiting on the CG Honeydew)
* Two bucket wash (waiting on my grit guards)
* Mothers Showtime Detailing + Clay
* Blackfire Wet Diamond Seal - 45 minutes and buffed out
* Cured overnight
* Mother's Carnauba Wax in the morning.

I got some CG Pete's wax on order, and some other sealants, Black Light, etc coming in as well. But for now, it looks GREAT! Claying was awesome. Me and a buddy washed and did our cars together but he didn't clay (his is a C-250 Coupe) - and after sealing, you could tell the difference between our two cars.

Thanks. It's actually my parent's cottage/orchard. I live in the city (Toronto) so I barely have a driveway. My dad converted an old barn to have a garage and guest house on the main floor (4 car officially, but I think we can fit 5 or 6).

It was great for cleaning the cars outside in the shade and then claying/sealing/waxing inside.

I'll be going back often. The only bad part is the half mile drive through the dirt road to get back on the highway. So it requires a little instant detailing after.
