It just seems like you really rush everything. The after shots of the carpet still have what looks like dried grass on it. Just take your time and get it all. Same with the polish. On one shot there are still plenty of swirls.
 
That wasnt really what I messed with more of just the floor mats I need a good carpet cleaner

+1. It's called a detail for a reason.

Yea thats what I mean. Look at the shot of the floor matt. It still has stuff on it.
 
thats like the hardest dog hair to remove I'm looking at a brush that meg's sale to realy remove all that the hait wouldnt come out and I used a good scrub brush and a High Hp Wetdry Vac but it still there. suggestions?
 
if you're not using a machine, then that's why you didn't get all the swirls out. I personally would never wash a car with dawn, it's a bad habit in my opinion. Get yourself a used udm/pc off someone and practice on some of these family/friends cars you've been working on. you have to start somewhere. I doubt you have a powerful metro vac n blow vacuum like most detailers, so you have to spend twice the time vacuuming, etc. as stated prior, it looks like you left bits of grass, etc in there. Take your time and go over your work 2/3 times to make sure you got everything.

I personally love my metro vac n blow. I use it to blow out crevices that I can't get with a microfiber/chamois and it has great sucking power compared to most vacs, and most importantly of all, it's extremely portable. as for pet hair removal, I have a megs pet hair remover and it does a decent job at removing it, but sometimes, i have to take a few strips of masking tape to get all the rest out of it.
 
the Dawn wash to strip off any wax you need to get any wax off before buffing. and yes I use a machine.
 
So...you're saying that there were swirls in the picture that OCKlasse mentioned, but then you did additional polishing and waxing...and they are not there anymore?
 
Uh no there's not I have looked it over and there are no more swirls not even it the last pic I posted you might see a light defect but there are no more swirls
