She's finished. Honestly I've never worked that hard on a car in my life. After the clay I used the Porter Cable to apply the cleaner, but it kept throwing speckles all over the place. And those speckles are a PITA to rub out, so I did most of it by hand. I don't think I was using too much product, but it was caking up and spinning off the pad. I guess I'm still a rookie at it. Applying the wax was so much easier than applying the cleaner. Just like butter.

Listening to the new VanHalen album while working helped me get through it! :-)

For $20... hard to beat The Turtle Wax Black Box... I'm impressed... On the road since 05 and 83,000 miles later... Not to shabby...

Whatever product you use, take the time and effort to do it well. As I quote "black is not a color, it is a full time job."

Only remembered this thread today....looking good! Yep, the AIO should be applied very little when you polish. White pad, should be fine...looks good!!
