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.

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)

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)

4. Polishing (Klasse AIO for final cleaning and to add surface gloss and protection)

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)

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.

Sorry, some of the terms are in detailing lingo and may not be familiar to some of you.
