One Panel Per Day?
Tricks, Tips and TechniquesDiscuss One Panel Per Day? in the Detailer's Library forums; I may also get an EZ-up to provide temporary shade....
-Many great suggestions (and encouragement), from your fellow AGO forum members.
Being attentive to their posts, IMHO, would be wise.
-I'm encouraged by your family-attentiveness.
Further encouragements(?): RE:"One Panel Per Day?"...
Nowadays...I'm lucky if I get that far!

Thanks Bob.
It's tough to be all things to all people (including myself) so I have to sometimes compromise and it's the hobbies like detailing that are first on the chopping block.
I have a full time job and now the new kid so while this is a new and fun experiment, it doesn't always get as much time as I'd like to give it.
Thankfully photography is another hobby I've picked up that I can continue and involve everyone in.
Doing this to my Firebird as we "speak" its been like 4 days and I have only the hood & drivers front fender DONE and just 105 on the drivers door so far. I just get out there and take a few mins whenever. I do have a garage and it is not a black car but you shouldnt see any negative effects doing it piece by piece.
OK so I managed to squeeze in a few panels on my MINI Countryman.
I'm pretty happy with the results. This is a daily driver. I went over the hood and roof with a white LC flat pad and Poli-Seal. There are still some defects, but it looks as good or better than new.
No real before shots but here's a telling "after" shot (camera flash in daylight):

Factory paint isn't very level...

Pinnacle clay + ONR

Optimum Car Wax
Opti-Bond Tire gel
Looks very good for a daily driver. Shame about the orange peel, my Vette has it like that as well. Someday Im going to get it re-cleared and then wet sand it.
This model MINI is actually built in Graz, Austria alongside the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG (or was). I read here somewhere that MB lays down a super thick clear coat on those. I wonder why they couldn't lay down a simple flat coat on mine.
