spider-webbing, comparable to this threads:

1. Wash Meguiar's NTX Car Wash
2. Clay Bar
3. Wash Meguiar's NTX Car Wash

Applied with Hitachi Rotery
4. Poorboy's SSR 2/LC Green Foam
If not strong enough:
4a.Poorboy's SSR 2.5/LC Green Foam
And if still Not enough:
4b. Poorboy's World Super Swirl Remover 2.5/ LC Orange Foam

Hopefully that will be strong enough, and on to:

This is the stuff I have on hand to work with, any suggestions? Thanks

Apply Step 5 with the machine & the white pad. Save your arm this way.

You can also skip the second wash if you wipe the lubrication dry after claying.

Dress your exterior trim before polishing, and this will help in clean-up if you get any kind of splatter on it.

Tape over crevices, edges, everything.

What kind of 'plastic' are you talking about?

Thanks for the reply, and I'll be using your advice with the prep and step 5 and deleting the wash. The plastic is just to cover the large exterior trim(mirrors, bummper ect..). Once agian thanks for the info.
