After being tempted by FMINUS and other members on the forum, I decided to do it myself. It took me 6 hours to finish all three steps... everything has been done by hand... no ORBITAL!!

Please let me know what you think and what in ur opinion could have been done better

Looks great! I can't believe you did it all by hand. Are your arms toast? I can't imagine detailing another car again without a RB or RO.

LOOKS GREAT Wees75....

Aside from the visual aspects of it all you get the satisfaction of knowing it was done right!

6 hours twice a year is nothing for your pride and joy.......well worth it I say!

Gonna be doing my summer wax either this weekend or next, and looking forward to it.

I used Meguirs and Turtle Wax products.

Here is an inspiration:
