Default OH the joy!

Wash, blow dry. Coat of Gold Class Wax, wipe it off; add a coat of NXT. Clean and shine engine bay, shampoo red Loyds mats, treat leather seats. Wipe down and detail interier, get on hands and knees and polish 4 chrome thin spokes, clean all the glass, vacuum the interier, and finally lay on floor and polish stinger quad tips and exhaust plate. I am sore ALL OVER! Damn, it feels good.

Sounds like fun. I really enjoying detailing my car and although I don't detail it every weekend, I do wash it and touch up almost everything pretty much every weekend. Any pics?
