Hello everyone from Miami (Miami Gardens), I finally have something to post so I'm excited. I've been reading the site every chance I get (2-3 times a day) for about a month now. Wife thinks I'm crazy, and I have really had no luck getting any amazing before and after results to wow her with, yet. ;) just bought another e46 2004 325Ci Coupe with SMG and Navigation to replace my totaled one (Oct 11, 2013 R.I.P Baby) I knew this was my chance to do some nice detailing so anyway here is my first attempt.

Tools
PC - 4in interface
Black Wool Pad, orange, and blue foam pads
Rotary ( which scared the hell out of me and will not be using ever again thank god it's a friends)
7in white wool pad
Mountains of MF towels

3D Car Care Products
- they are like right down the street so ... Yeah

- HD Touch
- HD CUT
- HD SPEED

Note: I didn't use clay :( last time I tried it on a test car it rubbed off on the paint and would not come off!!!! I will try the clay "bar" and see if that's any better

Sorry the after pictures are dark it took me like 5 hours to wash and do only the back half of my car! :) but I did notice a different in the windshields (one I done the front I had not) the rain just wasn't there :)

The scratched didn't come completely out :/ I stopped using the rotary and wet sanded (3000 grit 3M) so i didn't want to go any further I just switched to the PC after that. :)

Regards,

Victor

Welcome from a former resident of 441 and Ives Dairy Rd.Lived there before during and after the construction of Joe Robbie stadium.:buffing:
 
I just realized the windshield picture is missing :/ it was smooth not beaded like the untreated one. If it ever stops raining I'll finish the whole car and post some pictures. Miami weather, sunny when I go to work and pouring the rest of the day when I'm off, then it stops and the sun sets 10 min later.
