Not a Pro but working at it. My 3rd "Paint Correction"
Jason dropped it off to me on Monday afternoon and I started with a Wash with Dawn to remove all old wax, then a full Clay Barring. Using my new Cyclo, I worked 2 coats of Gloss-It Extreme Cut with Orange Pads using their EVP Pad Prime
. Then a WipeDown with a 50/50 mix of Alchol/Water Mix. Then moved onto Gloss-It Evolution Cut with Yellow Pads for 1 coat also using the EVP Pad Prime Spray. Then a 50/50 Wipe Down. Then moved onto Gloss-It Evolution Polish with Green Pads again using the EVP Pad Prime Spray. Then another 50/50 Wipe Down. Then started waxing. I did 1 coat of Gloss-It Gloss Finish with white pads. Then another coat of the Gloss-It Concorso Wax!! That stuff rocks.
I was pissed though because when I finally rolled it out of the garage this afternoon, the damn sun went behind the clouds and never came back!!
Jason is going to come by so I can get some pics tomorrow in the sun. These pics don't do any justice compared to in person. It looks like it just came out of the damn paint booth getting cleared!
Here's some before pics.....

Super nice job!!!!
one question ...did you tape the crevices? If not, what did you use to remove the excess polish/wax that got in there?

Re: Not a Pro but working at it. My 3rd "Paint Correction"
I taped my first one which was MY Jeep SRT8 and didn't tape for my wife's van(#2) and didn't tape this one either. The thing about the Gloss-It line is it's water-based so it really didn't make a mess at all. I use the 50/50 mixture to take it off whatever it may get on. I also use the Gloss Enhancer(QD) while I'm working the machine as well as their EVP Pad Prime. It really cuts down on any mess. The only spots I had to sipe off were a few spots on the 2 roof rails..... that's it.
