Default B7 exterior detail w/Menzerna

Yesterday I decided to tackle my first full detail of the outside of my 2006 B7 with Menzerna. First I washed everything, twice to make sure nothing was attached to the paint. I then did an application of Final Polish II, then Finishing Glaze, and then FMJ. Everything goes on very easy, and comes off fairly easlily too. The Final Polish took off about 99% of anything attached to the paint that was not supposed to be there (bug residue etc..) The FMJ is VERY slippery smooth when final buffing is done. It took me about 4 hours to complete everything including putting a coat of Blitz wax on my wheels. Any questions, let me know!

Default Very nice work!

I need to do the same with my car . . . did you do it all by hand or use an orbital buffer?

Very nice job! I'm inspired to work on my B7 this weekend. Love the reflection of the tree on the trunk as well.
