I started with a full wash and dry and then taped off all the areas I didn't want wax on.

1st Stage: Removed all the dirt and contamination off the paint with a light buffing compound. This left the car baby smooth.

2nd Stage: Full polish with a foam pad and polishing liquid.

Removed the tape and then a full wash and dry.

3rd Stage: Hand wax with Turtle Wax Ice.

I was surprised that after using professional compounds and polishing liquids (each costs over $300 per bottle) that he told me to go buy a tub of Turtle Wax. He said that's what he recommends for the best shine on the final coat.

Who am I to argue when the results were awesome?
