Tested a few test spots and came to conclusion that the KBM on G220 was the best combo for me at that time.

Deeper defects remained.

The headlights were also polished with M105 & M205 but no pictures were taken.

After all polishing was done, car was rewashed to remove compound dust.


Was rushing so here's some pictures outside (sorry no sun shots - it was about to rain)










































No sun - was about to rain





Interior was just given a quick wipe down with damp MF. Vacuumed and fabric protected with 303 Fabric Guard.

Wheels were treated with M16. Tires on Meguiars ASD. Wheel wells on Meguiars HyperDressing 4:1.

Tires were also properly inflated to proper psi. Battery replaced before all the detailing work was done. I was about to service the car (replace oil & filter) but it was late. Maybe after the new year.

Thanks for reading. Comments/suggestions/questions are welcomed.

ps: 12 more hours to the new year! Yee Haaa
