Tom, the owner of this vehicle, contacted me through this site. Sometimes leaving your exact location helps 
Anyway, this is his DD. A very expensive DD lol. He wanted a full three step; the works.
I've been busy since Friday at noon detailing this car. I finished it up last night. This SUV had the HARDEST clearcoat I've ever touched. I could do 2 passes with a wool pad on the rotary with Meguiar's M105 and it would barely phase it. It took ALOT of finnessing and patience because of this.
Process:
Prep:
Washed via TBM Meguiar's Gold Class with Cobra Bone
Wheels/ wheel wells done with APC, various brushes and a wheel dedicated mitt
Clayed with Meguiar's Mild Clay and water
Polisher/Pads:
Porter Cable 7428 Rotary
3M Superbuff III Wool pad
4" LC Purple Foamed Wool pad
6" LC Kompressor White pad
5.5" LC CCS Blue pad
4" LC Spot Buff CCS Blue pad
4" LC Spot Buff CCS Orange pad (for windows)
4" LC Spot Buff CCS White pad
Polishes:
Meguiar's M105
Meguiar's M205
3M Ultrafina
Menzerna Intensive Polish
Protection:
Collinite 845 (car is a DD)
LSP:
AutoGlym HD wax 2 coats
Wheels:
Meguiar's Hyper Dressing 3:1
Wheel Wax
Trim:
IPA and APC with various brushes and microfiber
Windows were polished with Menzerna Intesive Polish with an LC Orange pad
Defects were hard to capture, but they were there
Before:
During:
Here's some wetsanding being done. I used 2500. If there was a scratch that 2500 would not take out, I let it be. This scratch was alot deeper than what it looks like. It was all in the angle of the shot.
These last shots are without wax and 2 IPA wipedowns.
I LOVE this shot
After:
These pics just don't do it justice. We had overcast skies all day today.
Some wax beading of the AutoGlym HD
