Full ext deail - TSX

Ok, so yesterday I decided to give the paint some TLC. Im a goober cause I dont have any pics yet, but I wanted to post my procedure before I forget.

Wash - Meg's Gold Car Wash/Wipe down with WW MF towel and 50/50 mix IPA/H2O.
Clay - Sonus Fine Detailing Clay/Clay Magic Lube, wiped down with IPA/H2O mix.
Polish - Poorboys SSR1 applied w/PC, Orange LC Pad. Swirls were minimal.
Seal - Jeffs Werkstatt Acrylic Jett applied w/PC, Grey LC Pad, removed with Acrylic Glos
Wax - Natty's Blue paste wax applied w/PC, Grey LC Pad

Went much eaiser on the Nattys this time, and it came off much eaiser. I know the JWAJ should be applied by hand, but I put two or three drops on the pad, and that was good enough to do each panel.

I skipped the Klass AIO this time, we'll see how the JWAJ holds up.

The PB SSR1 did dust a bit. I remembered when I used it last time, it really dusted when setting the PC to 6. But I kept it under that this time and the dusting was minimal. I really like the Optimum polish, but I found that it stains the black trim too much and I didnt want to take the time to tape.

I'll try to get some pics up tomorrow

About 3 hours. That was just for the exterior. The interior just needed a wipe down...

OK, the only IPA I'm familiar with has hops in it and about 6% alcohol. So what is it you used?

Sorry, I forgot to take pics. And now of course it has a fine layer of dust.
