my mom was asking to wash her car for long time. today after changing oil in my car and preping dads car for inspection i had about 2.5 hours to clean it. had to drive to pick car up from uncles house where my mom leaves it to get on train.
keep in mind i didnt do any paint correction couse only had 2.5 hours
tools used
Meguiars gold glass shampoo
2 yellow pads with Menzerna APO60
Swisswax wheel brush
Menzerna 203 with yellow pad
1000 and 2000 grid sand paper (for headlights)
Plastic X
Opti-bond for rubber trim
rubbing alcohol
Collonite 845 sealants and Menzerna FJM sealant
maybe others stuff
first i washed it with Meguiars gold glass (i think thats what its called)
even after that car looked dirty
i have a feeling its single stage paint because i went over with my paint meter and readings were 64-79microns on most of the car. go figure
before pics
did quick vacuum and washed clear floor mat (was useless since i opened car this morning and there were leaves there again)

Nice job Misha. Looks like a brand new car. Did you clay bar the car before using the Menzerna or the paint wasnt that contaminated?

paint was way too contaminated to do clay bar so i decided just to clean it with menzerna, its one step product with mild abrasives so it took care of claying. after that it was smooth as it would have been after clay, didnt had time for claying
