Finally got around to detailing my Cobalt.
Process
Wash with Meguiar's Gold Class Shampoo and 2 bucket method.
Dried with a Meguiar's Water Magnet (waffle weave).
Clayed using Smooth Surface Clay Kit.
Meguiar's Ultimate Compound with yellow polishing pad via G110V2 (this thing rocks)
NXT 2.0 with black finishing pad via G110V2.
Meguiar's Hot Shine on tires and wheel wells.
I didn't take any before pictures, but there were minor swirl marks here and there, as well as some marring from a neighbor kid that decided to use my car as a shield in a snowball fight. Thankfully, there was only one spot on the hood from his gloved hand.
This is the result of my test spot....Ultimate Compound finished LSP ready, to my surprise.

With Flash from Camera:

Since it finished so nicely, I was ready for my LSP. I chose NXT 2.0 because it creates more of a mirror look, and it really brings out metallic flake in paint.
Apply it thin!


After I let it cure for an hour, I removed the wax.


Now, for the sun pictures. Remember, the sun doesn't lie.






So, what do you think?
