Starting with the roof, apply soapy water and rub down the panel with clay. Repeat for the rest of the car.
Wash all soap off car and dry with an absorber towel
Buff all panels with a clear coat compound
Remove compound with micro fiber towel
Buff all panels with a polish
Remove polish with a micro fiber towel
Buff all panels with a sealant
Remove sealant residue with micro fiber towel
Follow with a wax if I have the energy.

I don’t consider my-self to be an expert at this, just through my experience a very small amount of residue was left over in certain spots, probably not noticeable to most people.

I was assisted through a professional shop for all my detailing needs not Kragen Auto Parts.

no! if u look at the process, everyhting is fine. everything is in order, and u're sealant/lsp should last optimally.

i do know first hand that medium grade clay does leave residue, but it does not need an orbital buffer to remove.

are u sure the shop assisted u in using an orbital buffer?

most detailing shops use a rotory or at the very least a random orbital buffer. but an orbital buffer doesnt sound like it would have done much of anything to breakdown the coumpounds and polishes.
