Nice work, what AIO did you use?

I brought D151 and Griots Boss Finishing Sealant with me, but I almost never feel right about leaving that for protection, even coupled with a spray wax on top doesn't cut it... So I decided to go with M205 w/ Orange LC Orbital foam polishing pad and top it off with a proper coat of sealant. The owner wasn't striving for full correction, and I couldn't settle for weak protection, so it worked out perfectly.

-Washed with Carpro Reset [this soap impresses me more everytime I use it]
-Clayed with Nanoskin Med. Grade Clay Mitt
-2 tires cleaned w/Mckee's Tire & Rubber Rejuvenator [this product has been somewhat underwhelming, using this requires so much elbow grease and even then the results aren't what I expected. I've gone through almost a whole gallon and I think I'll pass on this]
-The other 2 tires were cleaned with Megs D143 and the TW Tire Cleaner
-Tires were coated with TW Endura Tire Coat
-Carpro Pearl on exterior plastic trim
-Meguiars D4510 on honeycomb grill
-Meguiars Hyper Dressing inside wheel wells
 
Once again, thanks to everyone who responded to the thread, especially Guz and Eldorado. You guys have both been extremely helpful and I look forward to soon learning this craft.

Eldorado was as great a guy in person as he is online. Very informative and answered every question I had with great detail. The results are stunning and exactly what I was was looking for; a light polish to eliminate most swirls without sacrificing too much clear. The sealant was something I really wanted and I'm glad he had the consciousness to want to add it into the package as well. This morning it was a pleasure to watch the morning dew bead off as I drove to work. Awesome job Mr. Rado, pictures don't do it justice.

Thanks for the kind words. :)
It was great to meet you as well, pretty much from the 1st time we communicated I knew everything would be cool. Thanks for the opportunity and the trust. I always treat a vehicle I'm detailing with the same care as if it were my own, and seeing the owner very happy with the results is something else altogether. :)

Best suds ever. Not only that, they feel a bit different than typical car wash soap suds, like they have substance and serve purpose. It's just different, and the smell reminds me of sexy women. Lol.

Goes a long way too... Since I bought the little bottle, I've kept my suds in a gamma sealed bucket and re used it a couple days later [I've done this 3 times] and the suds mound up fresh as the 1st time, even with minimal water/soap left in the bucket.

So far It hasn't diminished my beading unlike other soaps [i.e. 3D Pink] which claim to do the same but aren't really good to living up to their claims.

1-1.5 oz. per bucket wash = Highly concentrated. That's another+
Slightly higher lubricity than the soaps I've used in the past, but it's noticeable.
