Break out the good stuff, I got this photo inserting.
. Another time I will put more in and explain the ways I do my detailing. Is it ok to place in here about my results, and maybe other cars I had done by hand, got more photos of those ones.

Re: Silver 2002 R8 Clubsport 1st Photo to work.
Getting some photos in , just got to get use to fly this computering machine, I prefer the DA polishing machine
. 
, That is my lot of photos, I got them in , just not in the right way yet. And hope next photos on next car I get some better ones. I use two buckets, a woolie both sides mitt to soap up the roof, windows, bonnet , boot, half way down doors, then use a different meguiar sponge for the lower half. rinsing each panel down before soaping the next. Used Nxt car wash, (on Maintaining washing, I use the wash and wax one). then final rinse without the nozzle on the hose. Claybar all over, UC with 2.0 soft pad yellow on spd 4. # 7 is it in the light colour bottle, mirror glaze,( did not have Up ), 2.0 Soft pad on spd 2. Finished with UW two coats over night between coats. Megs engine cleaner for engine bay topped with natural shine. Windows clayed, front and back only, rainx for first time to try it, two coats, hand buffed off. Door jams sprayed and cleaned with quick detailer, will clay and polish another time. all rubber outside applied megs revive and inside door.

Re: Silver 2002 R8 Clubsport 1st Photo to work.
Nice to see you're getting handle on placing images in your posts and that you're coming to grips with this "computering machine". You certainly appear to have the buffer figured out since A) your process description sounds spot on, and B) the car just looks flat out amazing!! Silver is not an easy color to get looking like this, and it's even harder to photograph in order to show off your work. But you pretty much nailed this one!!Michael Stoops

Thank you Michael, The image part will get better, I notice it looks great when parked in underground carkparks when walking back towards it, it really stands out shinning on the curves. The next car our black one will be on hold, as I went to go watch some motor racing today, Muscle cars, Hondas, Alfas etc... and rubbed next to a post in the ground on drivers lower door, so off to panelbeaters, it dented it as well as leaving lots of white paint .Comment
