Completed step # 4 today.

Took me about 40 minutes to do the whole car.

Not much dirt on the terry cloth after the rub down. Wondering if maybe time to move onto the polishing phase.

In these pictures I did a test spot to see if the car is ready for polish or to continue for a couple more days.

Took a fresh Terry cloth towel and rubbed hard to remove # 7.
Then applied Megs # 26 yellow wax.

First picture---top of fender from headlight back to about a foot.

Second picture---A spot on the hood.

Definitely a huge improvement. Are you going to go ahead and polish or go one more day of #7?

Not sure yet...

I have about 3 or 4 details coming up soon within next week or so and I kind of like to get this off the plate.

However at the same time, want to see first hand what happens if I add a couple more days.

Not sure yet...

Gonna sleep on it.
