    I detailed my friend’s car. This is the first detail I've ever done. I had to do this at my friend’s apartment complex with no running water/pressure washer, therefore I could not use my foam lance or anything of that sort. I spread out the work over a couple of days since she uses the car for work every day so some of the completed panels/trim/windows will look dusty in some of the pictures. Upon completion, I took the car to a self service pressure washer to remove the compound dust and wiped down the trim/windows.

    I apologize for the photos, I’m still learning on how to take the pictures so you can see the proper details and was more focused on the detail process than capturing pictures.

    Products used:
    Filtered water - filled in spray bottle
    Dawn soap and filtered water - filled in spray bottle
    Detailer
    Medium grade clay
    PC7424XP
    M105 with Uber orange foam pad
    M205 with Uber blue foam pad
    Trinova paint sealant with Uber black foam pad
    Trinova UV protectant trim dressing (did not take pictures of it applied)

    Great job especially considering the conditions you were forced to work in! Who knew that vehicle had such a nice metallic flake?!
