detailed the the car

ok so today since it was some what nice out i decided to detail the outside of the car

after i washed it i noticed some surface scratches, swirl marks and alot of factory orange peel in areas
for to take pictures of what i did

first off i never let the deal prep the car, i seen how most dealers wash and prep cars so i told them not to

i first i washed the car, then i used some Meguiar's deep crystal paint cleaner to prep the surface, then used Meguiar's scratch remover to get rid of the light scratches, then clay bared the whole car, rewashed the car and dried the car, then laied on 2 coats of
Meguiar's nxt gen wax waiting 40 min between each coat then went over the whole car with spray detailer to make it shine

here how it looks after i was finished tell me what you think

before i did every thing
