Over the past 4 days in my spare time I detailed my dads 03 suburban z71 with around 160k miles. This car has never been detailed and hasn't received a wax in 6 years. This beast has sat outside the garage since 2008. This car used to be my dads pride and joy when he bought it new but life got...

With help from Vega (thanks again man!) i ordered a 20cc syringe of opti-gloss. I was wondering from those who have used this LSP, how did you apply it.. Not the technique as in cross hatch pattern (which i plan on using) but rather did you use the foam pad that comes in the box (if it even...
