I'm not very good at doing these write ups but I'll give it my best. Let me start off by saying don't take any advice from me , this is only my second time using my PC 7424xp. I have learned many things from this forum and bought some really good stuff.
With that said, I had a few challenges with this detail. I ran out of Wolfgang total swirl remover, didn't have enough pads, and was worried about how thick the paint is.
I ended up finding M105 at Auto Zone and used it on the side panels. I had just enough of the WGTSR for the hood and roof.
I tried to clean the pads on the fly with not much success. When I was using the M105 it would stick to the panel and was really hard to get off. I had to end up spraying it with water and wipe it off. So I have learned a lesson there, have plenty of pads. Some of my old pads lost the backing and thats why I was short on pads.
Here is my mobile storage cart for car washing and detailing stuff. I live in my starter home with no garage, I have never really need a bigger house.
Starting with the wheels I used Mothers foaming wheel cleaner, I like this more than the Sonax.
This is just from pre-rinsing
I'm sure I used too much product, but i love the foam.
all cleaned up.
The wheels had scratches all over them so I used some WGTSR on them, I probably could have done better with them but the process was not easy and I was running out of daylight.
I finished them up with some DP wheel glaze

My only suggestion is pick up some MF pads you don't need a lot of them. I can use 1-2 on your cars size and just get a pad brush or compressed air to clean them every panel takes 5 sec to clean them.
kind of annoying only takes a week and it already has a decent amount of bonded contamination
rops:Nice job man!! Damn that thing looks sick!
