so, let's continue with the story...
winter was too long. seeing the car in the garage was complete torture. i ended driving the car (with the stock summer RFT) during very dry winter days to help charge up the battery, make sure the fuel got used up, and recirculate the oil to help the seals and such...
april finally showed up. i started it off with some detailing. thanks to some guidance from Phil@DetailersDomain, i was able to get the proper gear to do my 2 step polish...
after the usual wash and clay, i started it off with the Meguiar's M105 compound with a yellow pad. since the compound can build up some dust, a rinse is required before you can continue to the next step...
2nd step was the Menzerna SF4500 with a green pad. (Sorry no picture...)
once all that was done, I sealed it up with some Menzerna Power Lock. since i'm a little crazy and i wanted to try out a new product, i decided to apply a second sealant - Sonax Polymer Net Shield (it lasts for about 4-6 months).
some quick pics of the final results...
(yes, i took off the plates and bracket and detailed that area as well)
here was the car a week after the detail (sorry for the bad cell pics)
