Default 2007 Chevy Vette, White :D2G Complete Detail

Engine:
Applied RL engine degreaser liberally and used long handle bristle brush to agitate. The power washed off and re-applied RL engine degreaser and agitated once again. Re-rinsed off and proceeded to blow off excess water with air compressor. I then applied RL engine dressing to whole area. After running for 10-15 mins used cotton towl to blot dry areas.

Wheels/Wells/Tires:
Wheels rinsed off then soaked in Meg's WB. Scrubbed with a grout sponge. After drying hand polished with Deep Finish Chrome Polish

Wells rinsed then soaked with CG Grime reaper, agitated with black schmitt. Re-rinsed and then dressed with Adams UC spray

Tires rinsed and treated with CG Grime reaper, agaitated with black schmitt. Re-rinsed and dressed with new D2G dressing formula. (mixture of my old stuff mixed with some Meg's hyper dressing)

Wash process:
Rinsed off and front, windshield, side-view mirrors and lower panels pre-treated with awesome apc.
Car then foamed with a mix of Citrus wash clear and Meg's Hyper wash... let dewll for 2-3 mins and proceeded to wash.
Using a double grit guard system in bucket washed entire car then went back and clayed with Riccardo.
Re-rinsed car and then sprayed OID over entire car as a drying agent. Using blue pearl towels to dry.

Interior:
Vaccuumed
Meg's APC for interior cleaning and D2G leather cleaner. Dressed with CG mixed dressing and D2G leather conditioner.
CG odor neutralizer +

Paint Protection:
Used a beta sample from Tropi-care for the wax applied via TW foam applicator. Buffed off and waited 15 mins for a AW/OSW wipe down.

Windows cleaned using Pacific Produx glass cleaner (AWESOME STUFF) and ww mf
Tail pipes polished using Deep Finish Chrome and finger pocket polisher
CG trim gel via TW foam applicator on all exterior trim pieces

Great job D2G! You definitely made that white pop! The wheels came out nice as well! Love the reflection shot on the chrome. You brought the interior back to Vette standards! I enjoyed the write up, thanks for sharing this detail with us.

Great job Dust. The wheels are amazing once you got through with them. So what did you think of the beta wax?

dude to be honest it's some good stuff... went on smooth and off just as smooth. hardest part is it's a white wax so i had to buff a few times to make sure i got everything off, but i used it in direct sunlight and it didn't effect taking it off... left the surface feeling ultra smooth. i just hope these people will jump onto my maintaince plan so i can see how long this stuff will last
