This car was only a week old. I have to give credit to Willowdale Subaru. The car was prep'd so poorly that it looks like they didn't touch it. Some grease residue on the bottom door panel, adhesive marks where all the plastics were removed and not swirled or marred paint.
Wash:
CG CWC + MGS Green Stuff
Zymol Wash Sponge
Dread lock MF Mitt
Wheels:
Meguiars APC 4:1
Brown Royal 2:1
Raceglaze Wheel Brush + Lug Nut Brush
EZ Wheel Brush
Tire Brush
PERL 1:1
CG Barebones
Decontamination:
IronX+IronX Gel
Ricardo Yellow Claybar
ONR Clay Lube
Polishing:
M205 on White
D300 used on areas on the trunk and hood to remove light marks
OPT Metal Polish on tips
Protection:
Opti-Coat 2.0 on all wheels, headlights, tail lights, badges, trim, glass
1Z Gummi on all seals
Wheels were looking very grimy for a 1 week old car.
Wheel wells needed some cleaning.
Exhaust Tip was quite dull.
Dirt on the paint.
Still looks clean from afar. Benefit of white.
Different from close level.
Scrubbing all the silicon off the tire that remained.
Getting all the details!
2 Bucket Method. The only way we wash.
Lots of iron! Your car is not as clean and pristine as you think coming off the showroom floor.
Point proven.
Clay after ironX.
ONR for clay lube.
Adhesive to be removed.
Taking care of the seals.
50/50
A puddle of white!
Taking gloss to the next level!
Polishing all complete.
The perfection is in the reflection.
Sun came up after polishing, and down for opt-coat. Perfect timing.
Wheels looking crisp.
Exhaust looking mint.
Thanks for looking!

Looks amazing and your "narration" of the cleaning process had me thinking of "Epic Meal Time" for some reason. I was saying each of those things in that main guys voice the whole time, haha. "The two bucket method. The only way we do it! You like bacon, here's 80 pounds of bacon!" Hahaha! (You tube epic meal time if you don't know what I'm talking about).
