Hello autogeek. Boy have I been busy today, I polyurethaned my adirondack chair in the morning and went right to detailing a friends jeep in the afternoon.
Exterior
Wheels and tires scrubbed with meguiars d143 and car soap
washed with a foam gun and montana boars hair brush and meguiars gold class soap.
Gun was set at 3 with 2 oz of car soap and 2 oz of dawn for stripping
car was clayed with nanoskin and zep citrus at 20:1
tires and trim had optibond tire and trim gel -looks great on the jeep tires as the gel is easy to apply and shines well.
car was waxed with v7 sealent and collinite 476

Interior
quick dash wipe and windows cleaned,chemical guys v7 is great on glass and paint! interior was not vacuumed as it was not wanted

all of this was done in 3 hrs which was not bad timing. I applied a wax layer of collinite 845 before which reduced the amount of claying needed this time

It wasn't designed to provide lubrication for claying automotive paint. Did you not get any marring?

very little actually. the big problem was the hood. It definately had something in it that felt really rough. Like rail dust or overspray
