I saw this post on Autopia the other day and was completely blown away with this work. I've never seen anything like it.

How about a 5-step polishing process!
  1. Meguiars 105 Via 3M Wool
  2. Menzerna Super Intensive Polish via LC orange pad
  3. Menzerna Super Intensive Polish via green LC medium polishing pad
  4. Menzerna 106ff via white LC Polishing Pad
  5. Menzerna 85rd via black LC pad

Check out the full post for a comprehensive write-up of the detailing ... and lots of photos. Here are a few money shots ...
