The Highlander was in great shape so there are no before pictures, however my process was as follows:
Wash: CWC at strong dilution to aid in removal of previous LSP.
Clay: Pinnacle Poly clay.
Polish: Menzerna FPII with the Flex DA and a blue finishing pad. The finish was in great shape therefore no need to bring out the heavy hitters. This was mostly just to "jewel" the paint.
Rewash: CWC at normal dilution
Paint Cleaner: KAIO with the Flex DA and black pad.
LSP: Blackfire Wet Diamond Sealant. Easy on, Easy off. First coat applied with Flex and blue pad. After overnight curing a second coat was added. This coat was done by hand.
Wheels: KAIO to clean and FK1000p to seal.
Windows: KAIO.
Grill: Optiseal.
Now on to the pics, comments welcome. I have thick skin so go ahead and fire away!
BTW, I`m not a great photographer and only have a point and shoot camera. Actually "not great" is overstating my ability!:D
