Weekend spent w/ the week-old Benz!
1. Wash w/ original Blue Dawn
2. Debadged E350 emblem
3. Clay bar w/ Griot's speed shine and Griot's clay bar- still amazes me the little particles that will show on a white car
4. Griot's All-in-One polish/sealant applied w/ orbital including the wheels
5. A coat of Griot's Best In Show Carnuba for the gloss
6. Good thorough glass cleaning all around
Perfect weather for just such a task, and plenty of football to break up the work. I will admit, for a guy used to dark colors and metallic paint, Arctic White is a completely different animal. Have to get used to a different kind of "shine". I will say if you really want to get to know your paint, grab yourself a clay bar - definitely a satisfying undertaking.

Sounds like a great weekend! Griots makes great products and I have been thrilled with the results they produce. I agree with the clay bar comments as well. It seems a little scary at first, but it is amazing how well it cleans paint!
