Proton Waja - Galaxy Grey - Transforming daily driven car to show room condition

Thought of sharing some work done on my car. The last full detail was on Oct 08; till today, its only washed and coupled with regular waxing every 2 weeks or so. The paint is not perfect. No major swirls but only odd random light scratches and the unavoidable water spots.

Since the workers doing the renovation took some time off to go deep sea fishing, I took the chance to clean my car.

So here goes.

Washing Stage:

Started by washing the engine bay.

Tools & Products used:

Pressure Washer
Air Compressor
Demoted MFs
Terry Towels
Numerous brushes

Osren APC (I ran out of Megs APC )
D151 to do general cleaning
HyperDressing on rubber/plastic parts
