Hello im new here, im just starting full details, and here was on of my practice cars

Alright, this is my sisters car, she kindly lent it to me for practice. When she bought the car i cleaned it right away, and it was in awesome shape. It was brand new but as you know they dont always come out of the dealership in great shape.
I went over do's and donts with washing, and general paint care and she has done a great job following that.

Here we are over two years, almost 50,000miles later and it still looks good, but i wanted more than that.

Eagle one wash
Meguires Clay(with soapy water in spray bottle)
Meguires #83(on Maroon pad with PC)
Meguires #9(on Yellow pad with PC)
Collinite 845 by hand

Like i said paint was doing alright, fine swirls, and very few rids

I was happy with #83 it polished up very well but i still followed it up with #9 to gloss it up
