    Did my first full detail (power polish), thoughts and questions inside

    It's really hard to explain what I was seeing. I could kind of see the polish working, I was seeing after around 6-8 section passes that it was worked well, it was just hard to see where it was while I was buffing.

If you are searched or anything, it would be completely unrelated. If they ask you about the products just be honest and say they are for detailing the car...

    Machine Polishing 3M Paint Protection Film (Clear Bra)

    Totally get that, unfortunately my dad doesn't really understand detailing quite like I do. So really, the big question is, how do you detail a car with 3M already on it? Just hand wax the film?
