2004 Mitsubishi Challenger...Maroon and a big challenge

I did this on a Sunday months ago, in the 38C degree heat (so about 108F). The car is my parents it see the offroad and thus the 2 inch lift, reuslting in 6 inches between the roof and my garage door...so bugger all room. They are in NZ for a holiday and they have done a bit for me lately so thought I would be nice...
The paint was relatively smooth (dad had polished with NXT liquid by hand thus the marks...), though the swirls from improper washing and polishing were evident....

Process:
Wash Megs Gold
Wheels Wash Wolfgang
Innerguards, DP Exterior cleaner, diluted
Clay - Pinnacle Polyclay, Wolfgang lubricant
SSR2.5, with orange, good results and a bucket load of dusting, go so annoyed that I smashed the container...tried SSR1 to follow and more dusting...another container GONE...
Went to DP Mild Swirl on Orange, good results no dusting
Followed with Menzerna 85RD, my new favourite by far
Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant
Aquawax spray Wax
Wheels PB Pro Polish
Tyres PB B&B
Exterior Trim PB Trim Restorer, incl side steps
Leather Seats, Pinnacle Clearner and Conditioner
Trim and Dash, 303 Protectant
Pro Polish on Chrome trim
Bowdens on Exhaust tip.
Megs NXT on Glass

Befores...now you see what I mean...

Still the occassonal swirl, and of coursedeep scratch but happy with the results after 8 hours and a few beers and numerous dips in the pool to cool off...

Looks very nice, I like how the paint looks so solid...signs of a good job. 85RD is wicked ....well the entire Menzerna line up is just incredable. Nice to see we share same opinion.

Thanks for sharing, oh by the way you have a very nice house.
