    Here is my DD she has 182K sor far on her and I've never detailed her before. Only a wax once of some cheap auto store stuff.

    So I washed with CG citrus in the Glam foam gun. Used 2 bucket method vs my 3 bucket method. some shots before I started

    Then I took some pics after I clayed the hood there was little to no contamination due to the fact I had the cars fender repared and to make the panel not stick out in a different shade the feathered the hood. So I guess thats why its so clean. Any ways used a QD as lube

    yeah a tough spot was the driver fender it was re painted and the clear coat was sticky and the flex kept wanting to go everywhere so i just used a little more polish and a slower speed
