1970 Plymouth Cuda Vitamin C Orange - Detailed by Mike Phillips
Definitely can't wait to see the finished product.
Here's a question, my Camaro looked very close to the same with swirls. I typically use Chemical Guys products...so I started with V36 cutting compound and a medium cutting pad. The car turned out great with a gloss shine and very smooth...
I ran out of time and didn't get to polish so I just went ahead and threw wax on it and was happy. Should I have went ahead and used the V38 polish and a finishing pad and then waxed or am I ok with what I did?

Hi Adam,
I moved your pictures and created you your own thread here,
Camaro detailed using Chemical Guys
As to your questions?
"Yes" if it were me and I was using CG products I would have definitley finished out with their finest/best finishing polish before sealing the paint.
I'll post my answer to your thread too...

Very good description of showing defects Mike. I would imagine there are many including myself that can benefit from your technique. Love the cuda and the vitamin c also.

Probably the same reason you work from the top to the bottom on any washings.
BTW, that Cuda looks great. Love to see cars in their original state.

My 1st thought was because you wouldn't want your clothes to possibly rub up against the sides of the finished vehicle while trying to do the roof.. If you finish the roof 1st you'll never need to reach over the side of the vehicle again. [however that wasn't 1 of the reasons]
In reply to the linked thread about why to finish the roof 1st: I like to finish the wheels & tires 1st for that very same reason. Helps things look alot better
