Some pics of an Altima I did a couple weeks ago...sorry for the low res pics and poor lighting...but we all know how that goes ;)
Anyway, big thanks to AG and the AG Online Forum- without whom this wouldn't have been possible!
Process:
-Wash
-Clay, incl glass, headlight and taillight lenses
-A G110v2 with some DA microfiber system that Meguiar's makes :)
-Menz-Nano w/Megs Yellow 2.0 on a FLEX 3401
-Ez Creme Glaze applied w/ my old trusty G110 (nice and gently)
-303 Protectant
-Menz USA PL applied w/G110 applied everywhere (again, I love the way it oscillates on the surface ever so "gently")
-Whole lotta plush microfiber and P&P (patience and perseverance) :o)

Innocent looking enough, until closer inspection:

Fast forward some 15 hours of work later, hood after (sorry for blurry pic):

Hood after, close up. Lint and dust are starting to be a real problem at this point, they are casting their own reflections as well(!):

Thank you for the responses!

@Fast Eddie: hopefully I'll get better quality pics in the future...I'll need to touch base w/photog peeps for that ::fumbling w cameras::

@Tommythecat: it's been said before me, but just to echo: it's not that the Megs-micro is the 'end all-be all' answer to tackle all detail jobs/problems-but it sure handles a majority of 'em! I find myself using it more and more as I become more familiar with what to use on the SECOND step after doing so :)
