Default Paint reset today

Not too bad for a budget reset.... Dawn wash, Mother's Clay bar, Dawn wash, Meguiar's polish and Mother's Carnuba wax.

Almost Cruising the Coast ready:















Pretty satisfied with results

First wash with no dry (no reason since clay was next)
Claybar..... smoothest 13 year old paint I have ever felt. Only real rough was on the bumper where the water from the tails collect.
Second wash with dry
Break
Polish took the longest..... Half hood wipe, Half hood wipe, front and quarter wipe etc.
Break
Carnuba applied to whole car and let dry. wipe off

I usually get into speed mode when doing this.....like a kid at christmas time. Cannot wait to see result. My car is not a daily driver, so it stays relatively clean also. All of this factors the short time. If it was a daily, then it would taken me half the day I bet.
