OK, I know we have a dedicated thread at
top for pictures, but I gotta show off my hard work. Spent about 4 hours on the exterior today:
1.) Wheels with warm water and mild detergent
2.) Clean exterior body/glass with warm water/Turtle Wax Car Wash detergent
3.) Dried exterior with the Absorber, and drove around neighborhood to get water off wheels
4.) Move into the garage for shade
5.) Clay bar using Meguiar's Quick-Shine as lubricant drying right after with microfiber and buffing.
6.) Apply Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax with pad that came with kit
7.) Put on Black Magic tire shine while wax dries
8.) Re-clean glass with glass cleaner and microfiber
9.) Eat lunch for 30 minutes to make sure wax is dry. (2 ham sandwiches.)
10.) Remove wax with microfiber.
Back into the sun and the driveway, take pictures, and post!
What do you guys think? Let me know if you have any recommendations for improvement in the procedure.
And yes smart guys, I know my team got put right out of the tourney.

Yes, the weather here today is absolutely
fantastic, although it could be a little warmer.
glojo, that was damn funny. Well done. At first I didn't get your meaning. Silver is my favorite color car.
