- Wash down and rinsed
- Door jambs were cleaned up
- Nano Scrub AutoScrub

- Meg's M105 with Surbuf and Griots Orbital
- Sonax 5/5 Fine Abrasive Paste - Microfiber DA Cut Pad - Griots Orbital
- Sonax 3/6 Nano Polish - Uber Green Pad - Griots Orbital
- Lusso Oro was used as a last step
- Inspection with Fenix, 3m Sun Gun, Infratech, and natural sunlight

Nice work!
Just got some of the Aquartz IronCut from you guys about a month ago. Easily cut my claying time in half!
Tried it on the wifey's car (a white Matrix that have NEVER been cleaned properly) and it looked like a tie-dye shirt.
Just be prepared for the smell... It's stanky isht, but it works great!
I'll need to hit you guys up for some pads for my RO later on.

on your next order pick up a nanoskin autoscrub pad and you will cut your clay time down at least another 25% if not more.
