Default Finally a detail worthy of my car...

I've always detailed my cars by hand, but I always had the urge to use a PC and do a really thorough detail, and last Friday I finally got to it.

Products/path:
Wash - Meguiars Car Wash, multiple mitts and a rinse bucket
Dry
Clay - Meguiars clay and Quick Detail spray / wipe clean
PC Round 1 - Menzerna Intensive polish
PC Round 2 - Menzerna Final Polish
Wash
PC Round 3 - Menzerna FMJ (full molecular jacket)

I think it turned out pretty good for my first shot with a PC and these products. Currently my car cover won't stay in place, keeps sliding off

Here's some pics:






Man I love this car

Thanks for the comments, I'm really happy with it...

wanabe - thx for the badge!

slanguage - yea there's another one that wasn't quite as impressive, but still cool.

diablous2k - i was amazed how quick it went on and how easy it was to remove. I actually hadn't heard of these products before, but I'm a believer now!

Definitely the easiest LSP I've ever applied (aside from the wipe-on and walk-away type). Apply another coat next weekend and it'll last a solid 3 months on your car, easy

Looks great. And if I ever sell my 2004, it would only be to get a late model in that color. My favorite of all of them.
