What's Your Process?

I am just trying to figure out what everyone else is doing....



Do you one panel and all steps before moving on to the next panel, example: Compound, polish, glaze, wax the rear quarter panel, or....



Do you do one step (ie; compound) every panel before moving on to the next step.



Also, when you have splatter or dust from a product, and you wipe it off, does it scratch what you've already polished?
 
1 step around the whole car then move on to the next step.



Not if you have invested in the correct MF's. Most dust can be blown off and splatter can be wiped away easily if you have nice soft MF's.
 
Compound entire car, pressure wash, finish polish entire car, wipe down with prepsol, inspect, seal.



I leave out prepsol if I'm going to use a carnauba, and I tend to skip the pressure wash if I use SIP for a compound. If I use M105, Presta, or any wool pad in general, it's quicker to wash than clean up the mess imho.
 
I too do each step to the whole car before going on to the next step. The last thing I want to do is final-polish a panel and then somehow contaminate it with something that puts me back to square one.



When I need to wipe something off a corrected panel, I give it a spritz of #34 first.
 
1 step at a time, all the way around the vehicle. If I were to do each step, start to finish on one panel at a time I would be switching out pads/polishes way too much.
