Sorry for the confusion guys. If you want to learn absolutely everything about detailing may I suggest lurking in autopia a while to get a feel for what's going on. I'm currently using a Porter Cable Dual-Action polisher for most of the work. http://www.properautocare.com/porcabuldetm.html Revised Cliffs Notes for my procedure: 1. Wash (I used Meguiars Gold Class car wash) 2. Clay (Magic Clay to take out any bonded contaminants in the paint. Leaves a very smooth surface ready for polishing) http://autopia-carcare.com/awc-88256.html 3. Paint Cleaning (3M Fine-Cut Rubbing Compound for moderate scratches and High-Temps Light Cut swirl remover to minimize/reduce most of the swirls) http://www.properautocare.com/3mperfincutc.html http://www.topoftheline.com/tolae/hitligcutswi.html 4. Polishing (Klasse AIO for final cleaning and to add surface gloss and protection) http://www.topoftheline.com/tolae/klasalseal.html 5. Protection (Klasse SG to add acrylic protection and to add maximum gloss and reflectivity. WOWO is a wipe on/wipe off method of applying SG because it's very tempermental in it's application) http://www.topoftheline.com/tolae/klassealglaz.html S100 (also known as PS21) is a carnauba wax and was planned to be the last sacrificial layer. It added depth to the black paint and wetness. Good Luck!!

I just wanted you guys to see my recent detail on a black 2000 GS300. click here (Autopia.org) Sorry, some of the terms are in detailing lingo and may not be familiar to some of you.
