First off I would like to thank Octane for the great video. I watched it last week and while using the pc I had the video for reference on the laptop in the garage. A must have for someone like me not familiar with the working of a pc.
There are still a few swirl marks but considering the time spent, about 4 hours from wash to tape removal, and being my first time. I'm happy with the results. Unexpected guests made the process something I had to do in the garage at night which is far from ideal lighting. So I only applied one coat of M80 and one coat of Tech Wax after I washed, clayed and taped the car Friday after work. For the most part, the goal of removing swirl marks and ghosting on the paint worked out well.
Here are some shots. The first showing the marks in the paint compared to the second. For some reason the picture came out a little different color but gives the general idea of how it turned out.
My little helper.
