This is my second detailing effort, but my first using the machine. Didn't bother with before pics, as the car is less than 3 months old. The after shots were taken in the shade and don't really show the metalic nature of the paint.
Washed, clayed, glazed (#5, not the best choice until the humidity picks up, but a little good practice with the machine.) and then 2 coats of #21. I did hand polish two small blemishes with #83 after #80 failed to remove them.
I'm sold on the machine for wax and wax removal. It took me about 2 hours to tape what seems to be a fairly easy mask job. However, since I was doing 3 machine passes, it was time well-spent. Even my wife was amazed at the feel of the paint when it was done.
The interior was done a couple weeks back with the 2-step Gold Class leather cleaner and conditioner and some Quik Interior Detailer. The rubber and vinyl got a coat of #40, wiped to a matte finish.
Thanks to all the experts here who have shared their knowledge and helped me get started (becoming obsessed).

21 is my favorite on lighter colors. Bummer about the construction. Seems like it always works out that way.
