That was a long two days but totally worth it. Got rid of all the little scratches and swirls and the paint looks amazing.

Also coated the wheels and windows. Used the McKee's37 kit and am very impressed.

Products used and order of operations:

Washed and coated new wheels (did this a few days prior)
Full wash with dish soap.
Clay mitt with quick detailer.
Mcguire's 105, then 205. Both with orange pad.
Menzerna 3800 with blue pad.
McKee's pre coating prep with black pad.
Ceramic coating and buff with pad that came with the kit.
Added the window coating.

I've attached photos, not sure how to embed them into the post now that Photobucket got all squirrely. Couple of things I learned:

It looked so good after the first polish that I almost left it there. But after each subsequent polish it kept looking better and better!

The window and tire coatings are amazing. Can't keep dirt on them.

And the water repelling is excellent. Of course it rained today and when I parked in the garage the car was basically dry. Love it.

Highly recommend the McKee's kit. Time will tell how long it lasts, but it is excellent value for the money. I spent $200 on products and already had a DA polisher.

Edit:

The first pic is after the initial wash. Notice the old wheels. Second pic is one of the scratches I got rid of. The rest are self explanatory.

They are on the list. I need to finish my grill delete next and am going to install splitters at the same time. Maybe I'll do the springs after that.
