1st Car wash
So I woke up at 5am to start washing. I knew it was going to be hard job taking those protective films.
I finished taking them all. I washed the car and dried her up (by that time, there was daylight already).
After drying, I started inspecting every single part where the tape used to be. I knew I would find something:
Thats when I decided to use Zaino's Clay Bar. While Clay baring, I could see a difference in texture where the covered metal used to be.
After hours of taking all those little dirt lines off, I moved the car and dried her. At that time, I realized that I had the timestamp function off so I enabled it (as seen on 2nd pic down here). Basically, It took me from 5 to 10am to strip out the protective film and take away those fine dirt lines where the protective film used to be.

Or so I thought... upon closer look, 5 to 10am was not enough to clean those small thin dirt lines! I had to clay bar again and car wash again (1 hour and 47 minutes later plus 15 minutes to dry her reall well)

I then applied Z6 to take away all waterspots so that I could start Waxing. After Z6, we start getting somewhere... now she looks nice.
12:48 to 1:48 I get on the first Z5 layer... followed by Z6 clean down. Second layer of Z5, clean down with Z6 (Ending at 3:23pm).
4:26 I finished applying Z2, and finish wiping her down at 5pm.
At 5:34 I finished applying the new Z8 Grand Finale and she was a mirror!
7:20pm, I finished applying two coats of P21S Carnauba Wax and I was exhausted. I needed some food, but she was worth it!

Next Day
I applied a final P21S coat and decided to take some pics as by the time I finished the previous day, it was too dark to get proper pics.
She was so shiny that it was hard to have the camera focuse on the car instead of the reflection the metal made.

Oh yes, did I mention that 2 days after, it rained? Gotta love Florida summer weather!
