QEW is quick easy wash. Its a 2 bucket method that you use without a hose.

IPA-isopropyl alcohol wipedown to remove any glazes/waxes or anything else that will interfere with machine polishing.

I then compounded with Meguiars M105, using a surbuf pad and the porter cable XP PC. Did the final polishing with meguiars M205, using a black lake country pad.

I used zaino Z7 carwash soap in my foam lance and washed the car via the 2 bucket method.

Wheels got meguiars wheel brightner and various brushes.

Paint was then sealed with blackfire wet diamond sealant, followed with Zaino Z8 spray sealant.
