This was my first big detail that I've done. I was happy that it was on a black car because you can see EVERYTHING.
Exterior:
I started out with SSR2.5 and a Paradise Yellow pad. It left some decent hazing, so I tried it with an orange pad. It left less hazing but still a noticeable amount. I just decided to go over the whole car with that setup. I tried removing them with my 4* SMR but it wasn't aggressive enough to get them out, so I skipped that part. Holy bejeebus batman, I thought P21S was easy to remove. You can remove the 4* UPP just with the weight of your hand...amazing stuff

Interior:
I started by going nuts with the shop vac. There was sooo much crap all over, take a look at the pics and you'll see. I scrubbed the carpets with Meguiar's APC and just hit them with the hose. I was really impressed with this stuff as well, it made the carpets look pretty much new. I swear I had a puddle of mud next to the carpets after I was done. I dusted everything with a microfiber towel, a paintbrush and a can of compressed air. Then dressed it with 303. I used Mother's leather conditioner on the seats. I wish I had tried the APC on the seats too, but oh well I'll try it with the next car I get.

If anyone has any suggestions on getting rid of the hazing with the SSR please let me know. My Uncle tossed my $50 for doing it so I'll reinvest into some more supplies. Should I just get the SSR2 and 1? Any suggestions on pads to go with it/them?
