Default Noob Earning his Wacko Badge!

Hello all,

Well, after my first dirty/nasty Ohio winter, I decided give a fully exterior detail for the S over the weekend while the weather was nice. There were swirls all over the car from when i bought it used in December. I apologize for the pics, i could not get any good pics of the swirls with my canon point and shoot.

This was my first time EVER using a porter cable. The work you see below is the result of many hours of research and questioning on S2ki.com and s2kcincinnati. Let me know what you guys think.

Products used
(Detailers Domain Huge PC kit-got this with 20% off in February, Detailersdomain rocks!)
Porter Cable 7424
Uber Orange Pad
Uber Blue Pad
Tons of microfiber towels.
Meguiars Gold Class Car wash
Uber Geninue Wool Wash Mitt
2 grit guards-2 bucket wash
P21s wheel cleaner
Adam's clay bar
Meguiars Quik Detailer
Foam applicators
Menzerna Super Intensive Polish
Menzerna Nano Polish PO 106 FA
Einszett Glanz 1-coat
Lusso Oro 1-coat

Afterwashing, before polishing




Taped up




Beginning w/orange pad and SIP


Complete




Reflection of beater in door = Priceless


My new wallpaper

Picasa web albumn posting to forums steps:
1. Click the image in your albumn.
2. Click "link to this photo on the right"
3. Change "select size" to 800px
4. Click the field after the "embed code"
5. Press CTRL+C
6. Paste into notepad.
7. Select the image url and copy it. Its the one after "SRC=" and it contains "s800" in it.
8. Click the crappy IMG button on S2ki, and paste.

Voila! Repeat. Don't worry, you get faster at it. I usually just pick 3 images and link to my gallery
