A couple quick ones of my car.
Full on sun shot with #80 with a green Propel Pad, AIO with a blue Propel pad, and Shokar sealant by hand.

Same combo topped with Snatty`s #1600 (my mixture of 20% Nattys, 40% #16 and 40% S100).

I just thought this was a cool picture. 2005 Ford F-250, just QEW washed, EX w/carnauba applied about 8-10 weeks earlier.

==============
My neighbor`s 1999 Buick Regal. I really should have taken some before pics as it probably hadn`t been washed in at least 2-3 months. I can`t even remember the last time I saw it clean. It also had light rotary swirls from Car Max prep about 18 months ago when she bought the car. It also had lots of spider swirls and light scratches. She asked me to detail it while she was out of town for two weeks.
I started with a QEW wash and clay. The clay bar was nearly black by the time I finished. I then went over all horizontal surfaces with DACP and a yellow (meduim cut) Propel Pad, then over the whole car with #80 and a green (light cut) Propel Pad. At that point, it was nearly dark. It rained mud the next afternoon...very windy the day before and that day, then it rained and washed all the dust onto the car. She wasn`t going to be back for another 9 days, so I figured I`d finish it just before she returned.
I wasn`t able to get to it until the afternoon she was getting back. I washed it with QEW and #80 was still beading nicely and after washing it, the paint still looked freshly polished. I then used a Meguiars Polishing pad with Vanilla Moose, and finished with Glanz Wax by hand. Just as I was finishing polishing her glass with AIO, she and her son pulled up. Perfect timing!
