RRP - TL - Detail just before old man winter arives

*Note: All products being used are from PDP Products

Started my work around 0800 this morning. This is my progress thus far as I let the first coat cure.

*Degreased the engine bay with Hotstuff - let sit and rinsed away.
*Coated all engine covers with D105 (satin dressing).
*Washed the car with Cherry Suds
*Clayed the entire car with WB3 clay bar and Quickspiff as my lubricant.

Because I've done an overhaul on my car just a few months ago there was no need to go with a harsh abrasive. There was only just some slight scratches and the clearcoat and paint was still in great condition.

Using my Mikita and a wool pad I proceeded with the polish (PL10)
After the first pass I went over it again with a blue polishing pad.

Megs #7 applied for more gloss - (I lied I about only PDP Products )

Applied PL11 sealant and now letting it sit.

Here's a teaser shot. Bear with me about the pictures. I'm still learning all the features on my XSi.

Nice reflection shot!

Did you use wool for the final polish?

Wool pad used for the first pass with the pollish - blue foam used for the second pass. First sealant was applied with a white foam and the top coat by hand.

Should have the final pictures up tomorrow morning.
