Procedure:
1. Rinsed down the wheels (they were cool)
2. Sprayed down the wheels with some P21S Wheel Cleaner
3. Brush and cleaned the wheels with a Boar's Hair Brush
4. Rinsed down the wheels
5. Clayed the wheels (just the face/center, not a full wheel detail)
5. Rinsed down the car
6. Filled the buckets up with Adam's Car Wash
7. A great trick I use is to squeeze some Adam's car wash on the Shmitt giving it more suds as you clean. Going from top to bottom I typically go clean the roof then go to the bucket and rinse the Shmitt hitting the grit guard to make sure its clean for the next section (repeat this till the car is done) do this more frequently as you get to the bottom of the car and the back of the trunk/rear bumper.
8. Rinse car off throughly
9. Since there was no sun out and it was cool, I sprayed Adam's Detail Spray on the panels and proceeded to clay the car (Adam's Clay Bar) after each panel and each window was clayed I used the WW Drying Towel to wipe the excess detail spray off.
10. Car is clayed and dried.
11. Got out the Metabo with the green/orange pad and Menzerna IP
12. With a MF Towel I buffed off the Menzerna IP
13. Finished up polishing the car with Menzerna 85RD.
14. With a MF Towel I buffed off the Menzerna 85RD
16. Applied the Phil's secret wax to each panel and used a MF Towel with some 1Z Detail spray to wipe the excess off to a super wet/deep/shine....
17. Cleaned up the windows with Adam's Glass Cleaner (interior/exterior)
18. Dressed the tires with Adam's VRT (did one pass on the applicator and did a pass using the dry side as the customer prefers a matte finish)
19. Used 1Z Detail Spray to do a final wipe down on the wheels.
20. Used the 1Z Detail Spray for a final wipe down on the car.
21. Wiped down the door jambs with 1Z Detail Spray
22. Adam's Metal Polish 2 on the tips

Very nice work, and amazing car Quick question, do you think the Metabo is worth the additional cost over a Makita or DeWalt? Right now I'm using a Makita vertical polisher for the heavy stuff and a PC for final finishing. The Makita has enough power (goes up to 2k RPM) but the fact that it's vertical makes it a little more difficult to control compared to a standard rotary. So I've been thinking about either a new Makita or a Metabo, but the Metabo is so much more expensive. Any insight on that?

The metabo is definitely better than the dewalt. for weight and ease of use.

But I can't tell you about the Makita.

I have a dewalt and the metabo.

Let me know I can get the Metabo or the Makita.

How long does that shine/quality usually last?

[DetailersDomain.com]

thanks! the shine last quite long with the wax but its all in the polishing and paint correction. When you get rid of all the imperfections and polish out the paint you will get an amazing depth and gloss and shine from it. From there its really how you maintain the car. A good wash every week or two and a layer of wax every month will keep the shine on the car. To avoid the swirls from coming back just make sure to wash the car properly. I would say the shine will last 6 months to 1 year.
