no secret. Reechy actually takes very very good care of his cars so it was very easy.

Just washed it then used Klasse AIO 2x. His paint was free of particulates so we didn't need to claybar the paint. That's all it was needed. I applied the AIO with an orange lake country pad using the porter cable set to speed 4. Working 1 panel at a time (except the hood. I did the hood in 4 sections), I applied AIO, let it sit for a short time then buffed it off with a crusty sock....

Just checking to see if you're paying attention

With a microfiber towel. I dip the orange pad in water (just face down for a few seconds), then squeeze any excess out (ring it out like a towel) then apply the AIO. Seems to work very well.

Now in your case, I would actually polish the whole car with Griots Garage #2 polishing compound then finish with #3 which is the finest compound. Then wash the car again, dry, then apply AIO.
