Thanks to everyone for advice. My first detail went great and I`d advise anyone who`s scared of using a PC and/or products, don`t be - it`s easy and you`ll get the hang of it fast.

I did an NXT wash, small amount of clay, AIO, UPP, UGE.

Here`s my advice for other noobs:

* Wash well! Take your time and do it right - maybe even twice because everything hinges on this step.

* Do the wheels immediately - I waited for some stupid reason.

* FULLY DRY THE CAR. Use a leaf blower, you`ll be glad you did.

* When applying AIO/UPP by PC, use a small amount and don`t turn on the PC until it`s touching the car!

* To buff off, put a MF polishing towel under your pad. I don`t know if this is taboo, but it went great for me.

* To do a whole detail including swirl removal is a huge task. I skipped this step and you can still see the swirls, but you have to look through the shine and I`ll tackle the swirls at spring time. The steps I listed pretty much burned me out.

All-in-all the car looks awesome and I couldn`t have done it without you guys! Thanks!
