Looks great. What steps/products did you to clean it all up? I've got a new 2011 sedan and I need to do my first wash, clay bar, wax, etc.

Thanks guys....the blue slate has always been the best color in my opinion.......20 in rays coming soon along with coilover......

Here's what I did to detail the car:

1.Scotch guarded the floor mats after cleaning them.
2. Sprayed the dash, door panels and everything else with grit's garage vinyl & rubber dressing.
3. Conditioned the leather with griot's leather cleaner/ conditioner.( smells amazing)
4. Washed car outside with griot's car wash.
5. Dried car with chamois
6. Clay barred the entire car using griot's paint cleaning clay and their speed shine spray ( you can see the difference even on a brand new car)
7. Waxed the car using griot's best of show wax.( this wax is amazing with the depth and clarity on blue slate and dark colors)
8. Cleaned the wheels using griot's wheel cleaner
9. Sprayed tires with tire shine stuff (meguiars I think)
10. Sprayed the car with griot' s speed shine spray 1 more time.

Griot's products are top quality and their web site is addictingly good!!!!!

I also changed the license plate and parking light bulbs with **** extreme white to match the hid color........now I'm just waiting on the fog light bulbs to get here so I can change those too.
