Default Detailing day in session........updated with pics

Wash and dry - done
clay bar - done
Menzerna Intensive polish - done
Menzerna Nano polish - done
Klasse cleaner/Polish - done
Klasse Sealant Glaze - done
Pinnacle Souvreign Wax - done

New porter cable is awesome. I finally retired my old craftsman random orbital after 15 years of service. The porter is nice with the variable speed. Still takes a long time though, but damn it's looking great.

First time with the Menzerna stuff too. VERY impressed.

You should be able to take the black off and get down to the faster silver with that. ;-P

Default Heh - well they were there when I got there - it's a court - and yes its the grey stuff

very very nice. The Intensive polish was excellent as well. Beats the hell out of the 3m stuff I was using. The Nano was nice in that it went on and off quickly.

I've been pretty set in my ways for years when it comes to detailing - but i'm glad I switched :-)

Default Looks nice, mine got the menzerna treatment Saturday....>

How do you like the nano polish? I used the IP, FPII, and FMJ. I'll probably do another layer of FMJ today. How long did it take you to detail the exterior? The reason I ask is that I usually take about 14 hours using the PC.
