Default 07 Berlina s2ki wacko newb! :D

This is my personal 2007 Berlina S2K. About a month ago I let one the "top" detail shops with a guy who has "20 years experience" detail the car for me. Well, as you will see below he is anything BUT good! The car was super hazy with holograms and buffer trails all throughout the car. So I had to take it to a professional, and fortunately for me...THAT WAS ME! This was my first time using the rotary with LC CCS pads and Menzerna line. Im still getting used to the products but it turned out pretty good i think!

Exterior:
Optimum Car Wash
Meguairs Instant Detail Spray
Adams Clay Bar
P21S Wheel Cleaner Gel
Adam's Undercarriage Spray
Menzerna IP
Menzerna 106FF
Menzera PO85RD
Lusso Oro

Tools:

Single Work Lamp
Dewalt Hi Speed Rotary
LC CCS Orange Pad
LC CCS White Pad
LC CCS Blue Pad
Tons of Microfiber Towels
DD "Uber" Red Drying Towel
DD "Uber" Wool Mitt
Grit Guards
3m Masking Tape

Here are the pictures:
