I began by cleaning the engine and front compartments with Meguiars APC+ using a damp MF towel and various brushes. I then applied Meguiars Hyperdressing with a low dilution for a nice matte finish. Any painted surfaces including the bottom of the hood and engine lid were cleaned/protected with Z-AIO.

I also cleaned the exhaust tips with Adams Metal Polish and #0000 Steel Wool.
Exhaust Tip Before, not too bad but can still be a lot better!

Engine Before.

Front Compartment..After(forgot to take before pics).

After the engine compartments were cleaned, I performed an ONR wash on the car, then pulled the car into the garage to clay and prepare the car for polishing by masking off any vital areas with 3M Automotive Tape.

Notice the break in the tape between the doors, you wouldnt believe how long it took me to come up with this idea..

: Now I can open the doors all I want without breaking the tape and having it come off from the buffer hitting it. Im sure some of you know what Im talking about..I hope..
