Very, very nice job! I must ask about some of the detailing products you used! What did you use to detail/clean the engine and what wax did you use? That is one nice looking, clean car.
Also (this is very relevant to my car), what did you use to get your rotors and exhaust shiny and free of any surface rust? That looks very sharp, and I must know what you used to those metal surfaces and how you got them in such great shape. Please don't say I paid a pro detailer
Lastly, anybody remember what thier car was like brand new? Were our mufflers/exhaust ports shiny and looked like chrome, or black with a powder coat look?

im am a car detailer/ car painter.. i do both.
exhaust was cleaned with mothers metal polish w/ mothers ball..
the rotors were just putted on 4 days ago... i put them on myself.
i used Zaino as Polish.. and Klearkote as carnuba wax and handglaze..
and i use Zaino Spray detail shine as detail spray to wipe down dust..
i used the simple green to clean engine... i put bag over battery, alternator, fuses.. then i spray down.. then simple green to soak and scrub with brush, then spray off.. then used compressed air to get water out

All you need now is a set of the clear side bumper lenses. Note, the cheap ones will collect moisture and should be lightly caulked with an RTV and allowed to dry around the back base and bulb socket in order to reduce the potential of moisture.
