Feel like I am gonna die... But at least my car is spotless! ;)

The rundown:

Wash, Clay, Paint Cleaner, Scratch X'd a few spots, Polish, and then finished with coat of NXT 2.0.

Yes, I had the help of my PC 7424!

Overall, it came out really nice. I didn't take my time as much as I should have (still took plenty long though!), but results are very good. Very wet looking finish, mirror reflection, and a glass smooth surface to name a few. Took out some swirls but still have some here and there, but ill take of that next time I wash My main focus was the swirl removal on the back hatch from winter "crap". You should of seen how much the clay took off of that back hatch! Regardless, it should be a near perfect finish after how much work I put into it!

Im just glad I don't have to do this for a year! I do plan to give it a polish ever few months and wax it more often then that, but as far as the "complete" detail, it is ALOT of work!

Here are a few pics. Sorry if they are blurry, was getting dark so even the reflections aren't as clear as they could be! If you could believe that! haha

Good job. I like how you replaced the step 3 wax with NXT. Now go put a second layer of NXT, just in case you missed a spot not because it actually layers(it doesn't, I think).

Yeah, NXT does not layer.

Im sure I did not miss a spot though. I applied the NXT 2.0 with the PC and a finishing pad. Much more efficient then by hand! (and of course, I did use the little pad to get the tighter spots!).

If anything, ill just get it next time around ;)

Hell with red, everyone knows a black car looks sexiest when it's done up all pretty-like.
