Why I used quick 'n easy wash because I was too lazy to get the hose out. I hear this stuffs




This towel is from target. It's their drying towel. I like a lot

Mezerna Final Polish II via rotary with a blue tufted finishing pad. I really like this polish. Really really really really really like it for a light polish. I also have Intensive polish but my car didn't really need anything more agressive. This is one of only a handful of times that I have used a rotary but I am finally getting skillful with it and it will eventually replace the porter cable dual action for me. It will most likely be used for liquid wax application and glaze application.






This is the freshly painted and repaired side. I only washed and put on the Meguiars #5 new car glaze. I did not want to polish since I didn't know how hard the paint is yet, and it really didn't need it as you can tell.



Last step product: Wolfgang sealant. Now, you can't tell much difference from the polishing pictures without any wax/sealant on it. That's normal really. 98% prep, 2% whatever you put on top of it.




Here is my dilema. The body color door inner is new. The matte black is the way the car came from the factory. Now I really like how it looked matte black--I think it looked cleaner and well, just more tied together. Not as much contrast. Should I say something to the bodyshop (which is a fairly large body shop so don't get the impression that it's just some guy trying to make ends meat, but still they are busy busy) when I take it in to get the rear door lock fixed, or just deal with it? I have a few other problems too that I will definitely ask to be fixed (the driver's door handle has a fairly large gouge in it and some residue that I cannot get off, and the mirror they replaced is all marred and scratched).
