Had this Honda for today. The owner wanted to clean it up and shine like hell. So my process was wash with 2 bucket method with Wolfgang Auto bathe and with my Ulti-mitt wash mitt. For rims i use P21S gel and with my EZ detail brush. Tires got roll-off and inner wells too. For drying i use a leaf blower and a new Cobra Guzzler HD WW drying towel i got from Meghan (works great). After claying with Meg`s clay bar and #34, i then threw the 3M low tack tape and inspect the finish which only had a few swirls to my surprise. I use Zaino AIO and with a little of ZPC on a Cobra cross groove pads ( white and blue ) with a Makita rotary at 900 rpm`s to 1200 rpms. It work great on removing those nasty little swirls and clean up the finish too. After that it was wipe down with prep-sol to inspect and everything look great. It got 2 coats of Z2 with Z8 as a final wipedown. Interior was vac and clean up with IZ einszett cockpit cleaner and glass with Stoner`s. The tires got RL tire dressing and 303 for the lower black panels. Total time was under 7 hrs with the rain and storms today. The owner was very happy and i was too.

Nice job Angelo. It`s too bad the weather wouldn`t cooperate so that you could get some sun shots.
