Ok, can't figure out how to post pictures but here's what my first detail entailed including first time with PC machine. The machine really made it much easier. Total project from wash to finish was about 5 hours. Yes, I'm not super anal and the paint is really excellent. Here were the steps:
Clay
Revive with machine and white pad
Finish polish machine with white pad
Brilliant Glaze with machine with white pad
Paint Sealant- machine- Grey pad
Buttery Wax- machine white pad
Did I miss anything? Paint seemed to be in excellent condition and shine when I started, so I didn't do the paint correction. I wish I had the patriot or americana wax as it seems those might hold up better. I thought the revive step really brought out the "pop" on my atomic orange Z06. Not sure if I noticed anything additional with the finish polish.
For the last month or two before winter, I'll use the H20 guard.
Thanks again for the input. When I'm no longer sore from yesterday, I'll tackle my wife's car and maybe even my son's weathered 2002 Honda Accord.
