Well i got a touch free car wash to start then dried my car off. Next i used a porter cable 7424xp and used Menzerna prodcuts with a black fire wax.
1. To start i used the SI1500 on speed 6
2. Then i used the SF4000 on speed 6
3. And to finish it off i used the Black Fire Wax on speed 3-4.
I used the Correct Pads and Clean Microfiber Towels
Seems pretty simple but i spent around 16 hours but this was my very first time waxing with a machine and it took a long time. I also went very slow to get the best results.
And several hundreds of investment in orbital, pads, polishes, shampoo etc goes a long way. Rather than paying someone $100-200 a pop to do detailing and paint correction work, you can now do everything yourself.
Sigh.... I looked at my order history with Detailed Image, and my total spend over 3 years is $1300
. So it does get addictive......

Yes Sir it was worth it!! And yes! Now i know the diffrence between hand and machine.
I second this....i paid around $300 the first time for my waxing prodcuts and im looking towards my next order.

Looks good. Now make sure you keep it looking good with proper washing/drying. And if your like me and had to ignore the kids and wife for the entire weekend, feeling guilty, go spend some extra time with them to make up for it.

Thank! Oh ya! I will keep it looking good! I don't want to do this whole procedure again! It was a real pain.
