First Time Detailing...

Decided to pick up some cleaning supplies today to actually wash my car, which I have not done by hand, ever, in the last 2 years...

I washed it, clay bared it, and waxed it, and cleaned the rims...

EDIT: Could a mod possibly change the title to reflect large images

More so busy with the car itself, there is always something that needs to be installed, or fixed. And when time comes for the car, I always have to devote that time to fixing / installing parts...

I actually just got done cleaning out the inside of my max too, so yea, just as of recent, there are not any problems with my car, so I have had some time to devote to actually cleaning her up.

Yea, I am not a fan of tire shine, it always ends up turning my tires brown after a long time... so I personally stay away from it.

I just started using a tire shine product. Do these products require more maintenance to keep the tire looking good than just washing the tire? I've never heard that they can look brownish after a while.
