Cleaned it really good with solvent to remove any old waxes, etc, washed and cleaned it again during my typical prep cycle and then treated it with Solution Finish. Two coats. Great product.

Great post. The car looks like it went through a complete transformation.
I’m surprised you clayed the entire vehicle with just a clay sponge, it doesn’t feel too small for the job? I’m also surprised the headlights weren’t totally hazed up, they usually are on 2003 vehicles.

I probably should switch to a larger clay pad/mitt of some sort but honestly I can go over a vehicle pretty quick. They work great and I like the fact that they hold soapy water,e tc.
Headlight wise, these are in pretty good shape given the history of how they hold up. They actually could use a light sanding and re-polish as there's some road-rash on them but the new owner is a "car guy" and has it on his list to replace them eventually.
Heading out now to see if I can some pictures with a decent camera vs just my phone.
