This was an interesting detail for me, it is the first time I have done an all indoor waterless type of wash... Used some methods gathered from Dave KG writeup and went to town! Exterior Cleaning ONR OPC at 3:1 Diablo at 3:1 Raceglaze XL and SV style brushes VX5000 Correction Makita Uber Green and Blue M105 & M205 LSP BF Wet Diamond Interior VX5000 1z Cockpit Premium Stoners IG OPC at 5:1 I hate dealer stickers with a passion. soaked it in 3M and then hit it with the steam and it fell right off! Wheels were done by the Dave KG method, a little bit of Diablo and some preagitation, hit um with some steam and wala! I measured the paint with my highline II and was semi disappointed, readings in the 90-100 range... the tailgate had reading in the 50-70 range! Needless to say I did no correction on the gate... I wanted to try some new compounds so I initially was going to just one step it with S03+ but it was hologramming and marring a ton.. so I tried M105, almost no holograming but still plenty of marring, so I grabbed SIP and for the first time ever it was leave some marring and holorgramming... WTF!!! This was the first time I tried to one step and failed... Usually SIP on Green is a one step monster... not today. I was happy with the amount of defect removal from the 105 and after chasing with 205 the paint looked great! This was honestly the hardest correction I have ever done... don't know what was going on.. paint was just kind of a PITA... I couldn't catch the defects with my camera at all so I did one 50/50 and gave up... all you get is afters All Done! BFWD FTW!!!
great work. Just curious, do you have a link to the write-up by Dave KG? I tried finding it but could not find it in search.
http://www.detailingbliss.com/forum/search.php?searchid=439895 That should be a list of every single detail Dave has posted on the site... his write ups are some of the best on the site imo...
Thanks for the response, that's how I searched as well through the 5 pages but did not find it. Or maybe its hidden under another title. Sorry for being a pain, do you happen to have the title? Note: also tried searching "waterless" and Dave KG but no hits

Do it!!!! Steam is amazing... I went through two boilers worth on this detail, one on the outside and one on the inside... I have to say that the Wet Setting on the VX is very very nice, really helped rinse away the remaining Diablo from the wheels...
