nice job!!!
- its good to spend a few hours getting close to your baby, see what needs some extra attention, a little touch up paint....
next time its much easier as you have an understanding of what motion an amount of lube works now, and you will only need to do the top surfaces-
then a polish- compound to remove any swirls or buildup of crud on the paint,,then a nice synthetic car wax - they even make a carnuba-synthetic blend final wax for the ultimate wet look and superior paint UV protection-
some come in a liquid spray bottle- like Optimal from ExcelDetail- wow was I impressed, and still using it on the 01TL
