Long time Lurker, first time Bragger...Lexus GS300

Hi fellow autopians;

I've been hanging around here accumulating knowledge for about 2 years now...I thought I would drop by and do my first "click and brag"...

Here are the pics...This car was "professionally detailed" by a shop a few months back and they left all kinds of crazy swirls, buff marks and halograms which I had to correct...It took me 8 hours to do this complete detail: engine, exterior and interior...Oh yeah, and lots of bird poop as well...

Before:









After:

Nice work, the paint looks a lot deeper and wetter in the afters. What products/process did you use?

Re: Long time Lurker, first time Bragger...Lexus GS300

Sorry I knew I left something out..Newbie mistake...

My methods are pretty basic...

1)Wash with mix of meg's wash/dawn
2)Clay magic (2x)
3)Optimum Polish w Meg's red pad via rotary
4)SSR1 w Meg's yellow pad via PC
5)Topped off with S100

Thanks all for the positive feedback..Especially coming from the veterans on this forum..
