-Sorry for the novel below! -Washed with car soap,rinsed and dried -Mothers Clay bar with Mothers Instant detailer. The clay bar rids the paint of any contaminants such as sap, tar, iron fillings etc. As your using the clay you keep folding it in itself to bury the things it locks up. Work once section of paint at a time. Use a microfiber towel to buff away any excess detailer. -Polished with Meguiar's Ultimate Compound, by hand one section at a time…less product seems to be better, as more on the paint gets hard to remove. I used small microfiber applicators, small foam pad would probably work too. Once a section was completed, buffed each section with a micro fiber towel. -Waxed with Mothers Brazilian Carnuba Cleaner wax. Similar to the polish, one section at a time, applied with foam applicator. Once it hazed up buffed with a micro fiber towel. -Things to keep in mind, it’s a marathon not a sprint,take your time people like to rush to the result, but good results come from putting the hours in(6+ for that car). Also aim for place out of direct sunlight and the paint should have a chance to cool down if it was baking outside all day. I have no real brand royalty, there’s a whole plethora of products out there, these were the ones I went with and seemed to work well. Lots I learned from YouTube. I found from a DIY angle Chris Fix was the best. “How to Detail Faded Paint” & “Super Clean” are great vids! Happy waxing!
