Default Newbie Detail looking for badge

Well I finally received all my stuff from Autogeek and I went to town on the S tonight. This is my first time using the PC. I know I can improve from here but I think it turned out really well.

This is what my process was:

1. Wash with Gold Class
2. Clay Magic
3. Wash with Gold Class
4. Pinnacle #1 with Orange Egde Pad
5. Pinnacle Carnuba Glaze with Blue Egde pad
6. Gold Class Liquid with White Egde pad
7. Raggtop protectant on soft top
8. Meguiars tire dressing
9. Meguiars glass cleaner

Let me know what you think and let me know how to improve my process

Thanks for looking

Not the best lighting to take pics in, but overall the car looks nice.

It was dark by the time I was done and it was really windy. Where I live wind means lots of dust. We have a group drive this weekend so I am not going to bring her out of the garage until then

I did learn a new trick from one of the local members here. I did not notice until I posted these pics that the wheel wells look bad My buddy told me to use some protectant in there to shine it up and get rid of the dull look

You can also use your wheel/tire wash mit to wash the inside of wheel wells. It really helps also.
