He did a whole thread on it, IIRC. You'd have to search it up. Might have "Fall Detail" in the title.

Here's the steps:

Wash with PB Super Slick

Dry with a waffle weave towel.

I used an old Zaino clay bar I had sitting around

For Polish:
PO203S with a yellow pad on the deep scratch places.
Intensive Polish with an orange pad on the whole car.
PO106FF with a white pad on the whole car.
PO85RD with a black pad on the whole car.

Wipe down the car with Top Inspection Spray

Then for Sealant:
FMJ with a blue pad on the whole car.

Wax:
Two coats of Dodo Supernatural spaced 24 hours apart.


Everything came from George at Detailed Image. There's a link in my signature to his store. He is awesome and gives forum members a 15% discount.

Here is mine good deep wash then Mothers California Gold Clay bar kit , followed by Maguires Gold Class , Buff and polish time on the whole car took 9 hours.

Swirls will come out but if you have not up kept your car nice and clean for a while it is difficult and at times unattainable.
just do 1 panel at a time. and take your time

The pictures dont do justice .this is off the hood and reflects where im parked
