Looks great! I'm still upset that you beat me to that purchase, but I'll get good tips sometime. Mother's? or what do you use. I just used some Mother's Mag Polish and 000 steel wool a couple weeks ago and it worked very well.

Sorry I was in dire need for new exhaust...

And honestly.... an applicator pad and some megs cleaner wax is all I used on it.

Thanks. Honestly that panel has never been waxed. It just got painted on March 25th but I typically use Turtle Wax black paste and for a quick wax job I use quick detail wax by mcguires (on my phone dont know correct spelling )

Nope I did. Vacuumed and dusted (on the dash). Fresh wash yesterday. Plan to wax when it warms up.

You'll want steel wool and a good polish with the stock tips at the very least, maybe even sandpaper. For interior, take the carpet out and pressure wash, otherwise buy a carpet extractor online for cheap (bought mine off Amazon for $100, heated and everything).
