Here is a pic that shows the "webs" and scratches in my paint


The process is as follows:
1. I washed the car with Dawn dishwashing liquid. This strips the car of any wax.
2. Clay bar. This strips the paint of any contaminants.
3. Meguairs #83. This is only to be used with a dual action buffer. I sort or acts like a compound. It is a swirl / scratch remover.
4. Meguairs #80. This a finishing polish to be used after the #83.
5. Meguairs NXT wax.

Here are the after pics...
















What do yall think?
