The spouse had the camera when I started, therefore no before pics. so I didn’t bother taking a lot of afters.

Oh. Lol. my bad.

Washed, clay bar’d to get all the shoe polish off the paint. It was extremely stubborn. The clay bar picks up tar easier than it does the shoe polish…. Rewashed again. My buddy didn’t want a full blown buff job, so I used Menz SIP. Which is a good medium cut along w/ its polishing additives. Came back w/ some Menz Polish (PO85RD), followed that up w/ some NXT 2.0. I’d like to use some higher quality sealant, but this NXT stuff delivers a great shine and the application and removal is EASY.

Of course all this done w/ various pads on my porter cable.
