One-Step Polish Detail on Steel FR-S
 

I've owned 5 cars in the past 4 years. The FR-S made it to 14 months, so I figured it was time to give it some love. I've only washed it three times in those 14 months until today. 21,000 miles, 140 autocross runs, never had a coat of wax or sealant... it was due.

I chose silver because I knew it would be my daily driver and knew silver would hide dirt enough to last long between washed. What I didn't know is that silver can look so good with a quick polish!

Because I live in an apartment complex, my water source was a brass fitting attached to my kitchen sink faucet with a 50 foot hose through my garage out to the driveway!

Polishing in the garage with Sonax Profiline Perfect Finish (because I got it in a Detailer's Domain Mystery Box)

Topped it with an old bottle of Zaino Z2 sealant I had laying around

Now it's ready and protected for whenever the snow comes to the DC area. It'll never be perfect because:

Very cool, the steel shines up well.

Looks good!

......and some folks say the paint on our cars doesn't hold up ......;)
