The DD's 2011 Spring detail.
Process
Prep:
ONR wash
Clay (Sonus Green with ONR at clay lube dilution)
Polish (via PC 7424 XP):
M105 (Uber Orange Pad) as needed
Menzerna P106FA (Uber White Pad)
Menzerna PO87MC (Uber Blue Pad)
ONR Wash
Menzerna Final Inspection Application
Sealant:
Menzerna Power Lock (Uber Black Pad) x 2 - back to back to ensure full coverage
Wax (applied 18 hours after sealant application):
Chemical Guys Pete's 53 (by hand via CG Red Pad) x 2 - back to back to ensure full coverage
Engine Bay:
P21S TAW
CD2
Wheels:
FK1000P (x 4 on the fronts and x 2 on the rears)
Tires:
Optimum Opt-Bond Tire Gel
NOTES:
I guess I may be getting halfway decent at properly washing my DD as there were no major swirls and I couldn't capture the micro marring on film. Plus I only used 1 piece of clay on the entire vehicle.
This time I removed the side guards, kidneys and side grills which allowed to me to properly hit those edges.

Not the best day for after pix (spotty sunshine), but overall I'm thrilled with the end result.
Thanks for looking.
