I detailed this 2000 BMW 740iL. It was covered in scratches on every panel. I started it at 7:00 pm on Friday night and worked through till midnight. I had the garage door open and lots of lights on. I was getting inundated with mosquitos that kept landing and staying on all the top panels. I would blast them off with the air compressor but they'd come back after 30 seconds or so. I would have worked longer but the nuisance factor was too high. I don't know what the attraction to the polished paint is, but it is strong!! Finished the car on Saturday after 8 hours (7 on ext/1 on int). I'll let the afters speak for themselves.
The Process:
wash and clay with clay magic
wheels and wells got 303 cleaner initially and car wash soap after
1st tried SIP with green ccs pad to remove the scratches but was ineffective
yellow wool pad with Presta cutting creme @ 2300 rpm
Micro polish with blue ccs pad @ 1000-1500 rpm
RMG with gray ccs pad @ 1000 rpm
FMJ by hand
Collonite by hand (great duo for protection)
Interior got good vacuum, treat rubber mats, 303 to interior and wiped after, glass cleaned
