that's quite a good wash

did you wax it at all? i think a nice coat of wax would bring out an even better color and reflection.

if you didn't, i use meguiar's nxt 2.0 wax (my car's in the video). it's really good. i used it on my friend's 98 camry with crap paint and it brought it to a really good shine and the colors of his paint. and after the 12 hour curing time, the wax looks gorgeous. i also follow up the next day with meguiar's ultimate quik detailer. adds an extra layer of shine and hydrophobic polymers for water to bead off. just make sure, if u decide to wax, that your car's lighter colored so when you buff it off, take a good look to see if there's any wax residue left. it's easy to miss a spot ;p
