Shiny hood reflection...

For those wondering, I washed the car with Dawn from top to bottom, then used Mother's Clay Bar kit, then washed it again with Dawn, then Mother's Sealer and Glaze applied with my variable speed drill and the Mother's Power Ball, removed by hand with microfiber towels, followed by Mother's Syn Wax in the same manner. I think the results are pretty good. All these pictures were taken at dusk so some of them are a bit grainy.

New painted mirrors:

94tbird speaks the truth! You wash with dawn to literally strip everything off the car. Completely takes off the wax that's on it. Then claybar to pull the tough shit out of the paint, then dawn again to make sure it's all off, then start waxing!

Best way to do it on a budget!
