Great looking detail! The standard detailing protocol usually includes a description of your process.

sorry guys, i was in a hurry when i posted.
i first washed with megs crystal car wash
then clayed with the california gold bar
polished with a yellow pad on speed 5 using optimum compound to get out the heavy swirling
then ran a white pad with optimum polish on speed 3 to get a nice clean smooth surface and to remove the marring from the compound
then used poliseal on speed 1 on a white pad to get the deep look
sealed it with danase acrylic using a foam sponge
then used NXT 2.0 wax- diff foam sponge
with megs 26 over it foam as well

Geeeeeez, lots of work wasnt it! Results look very good. I give you credit for going with that yellow and the compound off the bat. Not many are willing to take such a drastic measure initially. Hats off to you!
Heres my portrait from the weekend, lol

WOW. Amazing turnaround, phee.

BTW, that reflection shot is money. Yours isn't too bad, either, excel.
