3000 miles a bad dealer prep and black. All I can say is I'm beginning to see a trend here on east with very bad new car preps, I'm getting super low mile P-cars with tons of swirls and imperfections. I'm a bit surprised. Anyway on to the detail.

Products Used:
Adam's Car Wash
Adam's Clay Bar with Adam's Detail Spray as lube
Adam's VRT
Adam's Glass Cleaner
Adam's Undercarriage
Adam's Metal 1 and Metal 2
P21S Wheel Cleaner Gel
P21S Autowash
Menzerna 85RD
Menzerna 106FF
Swissvax Cleaner Fluid
Swissvax Concorso
Einszett Leathercare
Einszett Cockpit
Einszett Detail Spray

Tools:
3m Sun Gun
Metabo 12-175
Tons of towels

Procedure:
Exterior:
1. Rinsed down the wheels (they were cool enough to touch)
2. Sprayed down the wheels with some P21S Wheel Cleaner
3. Sprayed down the wheel wells and tires with P21S Autowash
3. Brush and cleaned the wheels and tires with a Boar's Hair Brush
4. Rinsed down the wheels, tires, and wheel wells
5. Rinse the car down
6. Used the Shmitt and Adam's Car Washto wash the car, from top to hood to sides to rear.
7. Rinse car off throughly
8. Spritz some Adam's Detail Spray on the car and dried off the car.
9. Brought the car in and proceeded to clay the car using Adam's Clay Bar and Detail Spray
11. Used the Metabo with Menzerna 106ff to polish out all the minor imperfections. (blue pad) a few passes per panel at 1500 rpm (Metabo rotary)
12. After each section was corrected I buffed off the excess polish with a MF Buffing Towel.
13. Used Metabo with Menzerna 85rd with E2k white pad at 1500rpm to finish the paint off with a nice deep wet shine. (removed excess polish with MF Buffing towel)
14. Applied Swissvax Cleaner Fluid and removed with MF Towel (removed after you apply in small sections, you don't want this to dray up)
15. Applied Swissvax Concorso by hand and let sit for about 10-13 minutes, buffed off to a nice wet and deep shine with a MF Towel
16. Cleaned up the windows with Adam's Glass Cleaner (interior/exterior)
17. Dressed the tires with Adam's VRT
18. Dressed wheel wells with Adam's Undercarriage Spray
19. Used Menzerna APO60 as a sealant for the wheels.
20. Used the 1Z Detail Spray for a final wipe down and inspected the car.

Engine:
Wiped down and used Adam's In and Out for a nice finish

Interior:
Vacuumed the Interior
Wiped down the door jambs with Adam's Detail Spray
Cleaned Windows
