Karcher pressure washer
Camspray foam cannon
Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Gloss
Chemical Guys Grime Reaper
P21S wheel gel
Swissvax wheel and detail brushes
Home Depot grout sponges
Uber waffle weave microfibers
Uber microfibers

Exterior cleaning and correction:

Meguiar's claybar
Finish Kare #425
Meguiar's M105 compound
Menzerna PO203S
Lake Country purple foamed wool
Flex XC-3401 DA
Isopropyl alcohol between each pass
Danase Wet Glaze
Finish Kare #FX-100
Finish Kare #108
Meguiar's mag and aluminum polish
Brinkmann light

Interior cleaning:

Leatherique Pristine Clean
Autogeek leather brush
Meguiar's interior detailer
Finish Kare 425

This car was $350. There was so much more I did, but alas did not have time for the pics. My car was stranded on the 55 freeway due to an insane pothole which killed a couple hours in my afternoon :pat:

If there are no "imbedded" items on the surface such as an atrocious bird bomb or something of the sorts, no sponge really needed.

I'm glad you'll be turning to the darkside! :dance:
