Fall Detail...
Well, I spent my weekend on a fall detail for my MCS. There have been a number of threads asking about what to do and when. I figured I would post my steps as well as a few pics with before and after shots. Enjoy! Now I'm off to get some ibuprofen... 
Here are the steps I followed (note I used Prima products for the most part; pad references are for the Dealers Paradise pads):
Day 1: - Dawn wash car and wheels
- Clay
- Rinse car
- Nero'ed the trim to help protect against wayward polish
- Swirl w/ orange pad
- Swirl w/ white pad
- Wipe w/ Monster Fluffy
- Amigo w/ white pad
- Wipe w/ Monster Fluffy
- Epic with black pad
- Ate lunch
 - Buff w/ Monster Fluffy
- Trim w/ Black Wow
- Spruced up tires w/ Tire Wet
- Shined wheels w/ Slick
- Exterior windows w/ Clarity
- Cleaned interior w/ Nero and Clarity
- Cleaned and conditioned Leather w/ Lexol products
Day 2: - Dust w/ Monster Fluffy
- Epic by hand
- Buff w/ Monster Fluffy
- Miller time!
As I'm not an expert, anyone out there that knows better please correct me on my ordering. I'll change my procedure for the spring cleaning!
Here are the pics:
Before:
An example of some of the damage I was trying to clean up:
Tools I used:

Scratched Area after Epic:
All Done!
Cleanup Time (sorry it's out of focus):
That's it. Sorry for the long post. Hope someone gets some value out of it!
