Well this is what I detailed today:

And here is the process I went through. I spent about 11 hours on it.



I started by washing the car with Dawn and a genuine sheepskin wash mitt to remove any previous wax:

I dried the car with a waffle weave micro fiber towel from Pakshak:

I then clayed the entire car incluing the windows and wheels:

After claying the car, I washed and dried it again


I made sure to dry all the areas of the car including the door jambs and so on:

I moved on to the polishing. I started with the greed edge pad with the PoorBoy's SSR2.5:

After removing the SSR2 polish, I used the orange pad with the PB's SSR1:

I also applied the wax to the wheels as well.

While removing the wax with a waffle weave towel, I also carried around a tooth brush to remove any wax buildups or polish from the cracks or seals:

The next step was to vacuum the interior:
