What products did you use?! I'm in need of a good detail to do on my own. I'm considering to get Meguiars Ultimate Compound, Poorboy's World SSR1, SSR2.5, and NXT Tech 2.0 wax. All by hand though. Any tips or suggestions?

For this detail, after the wash with ONR and clay, I used the following products on the exterior:
  • Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion
  • Chemical Guys EZ Creme Glaze
  • Menzerna PowerLock
  • Pinnacle Souveran
I did not do any paint correction.

Take your time, it's not a race. Doing things by hand, especially polishing, can be quite the task; so be prepared to spend a good amount of time on it. That being said, I actually like applying sealant and wax by hand.
Just remember to enjoy it, while it can be time consuming and frustrating, the results will be worth it.

There's a lot of good info in the Wash & Wax section too, so it can be a great resource.
