Day 1: Sunday 4-7 PM

First I washed the car with CG CWG with the high concentration recommened in order to clean the paint and remove the dirt. I also cleaned the wheels and tires.



While the car was still wet I clayed with Zymol Lehm Clay and I also used Zymol Lehm Lube. I rinsed the car in order to remove lube and dried.



I taped up the car and began to polish with the Menzerna SIP/ Orange following Moe's guidelines. I used Menzerna Top Inspection to help wipe off the polishes. I polished half of the car and because it was sooo hot and I wasn't getting paid, I stopped and called it a day.



Day 2: 4-7 PM Monday

I finished polishing with SIP/ Orange and moved onto Super Finish/ White, I passed over the headlights with this combo and it brightened them up a little bit. After I finished the Super Finish/ White. I washed the car again with the high concentration recommended.



After drying, I applied two coats of JetSeal 109. After I finished I stopped for the day.



Day 3 4-5PM

I applied the CG Tire dressing and added another coat of JetSeal 109. I then cleaned the windows both inside and outside to prepare the car for the after pictures. I had some trouble getting the exterior windows 100% streak free due to the sun so I applied CG Express wax and that did the trick.
