**The title is meant to say 'Sparkling' not 'Sparking' can a mod please change it?** Hi guys. So, today I have managed to detail the exterior of my 2008 Prius. Wasn't sure which forum to post it in :-/ The car had huge swirl and hologram marks from the previous owner so took my time on it. I'm quite happy with the overall result. I think the metallic blue has come out lovely! I will write a list of products used at the bottom. Before... During.... Wax left to cure.... After.... Products used.... - Magifoam - AS Duet - Tardis - Fallout Remover - AS Smart Wheels - AS Tyre Dandy - AS G101 - Megs Clay Bar - AG Detailing spray - AG HD Cleanser - AS Orbital Polisher with soft & medium pads (black & orange) - AS Evo compounds 1 & 3 - G3 Paste Wax - AG Bumper & Trim Gel - AS 20/20 - 3 x Tetleys tea bags - 3 x Penguins I was going to do the interior today aswel but I'm absolutely kn@ckered so that'll get done another day.
The Prius looks great. I never heard of your products before, wonder if they are available in my area. I use Quick Detailer after washing, just spray and wipe. So far it works great, and my Prius is 5 years old, 100k on her.
Darn! I wanted to see it spark! Does look lovely though. I don't think that color was offered in The States for the Gen 2. It looks like the Blue Ribbon color I have on my 2011 (only cleaner and shinier).

So disappointed. I expected some type of abnormal hybrid battery failure causing a light show of sparking. But good job on the detailing. Looks great.
Ok I understood the Tetley tea reference, that's a common brand here also. But we don't have those Penguin biscuits here, I've never seen them before. We have something similar called a "Tim Tam" (an equally stupid name, but a great tasting biscuit.) And oh yeah, nice job on the car.
Nice job bronze84, you can do mine next if you want to make the trip over the pond. I love that color! Oh yes, I was looking forward to a light show or something like that
What I do not understand is only three tea bags, thats definately at least a six tea bag+ job and possibly even a mars bar. John (Britprius)
Sorry for the let down chaps. Although if my Prius does ever start sparking then I'd be soon on here with photos! :-p
