4 hours of detailing
I washed with the new NXT wash I got, worked great, hard water was not a problem
I then clayed the bonnet, front bumper, leading edge of the roof, spots here and there, and in front of the rear wheels.
Used more of the wash as lube, worked great.
Dryed the car with a new micro fiber drying towel I just got.
Laying it on and waiting a minute, then moving on.
NO WATER SPOTS
I then applied NXT booster wax, slowly, making sure I got it everywhere. Did small sections at a time,1/2 the bonnet, one door, one rear 1/4 panel.I did a light mist, but put the bulk of the wax on with a micro towel.
Buffed by hand with a micro buffing towel.
The black trim had some white spots and streaks from the last waxing. Taping is good to do, but takes time, so last waxing I didn''t tape.
I used Meguiars trim detailer, seems to have cleaned up that issue.Will see in a few days, but the spats look great now.
Finished with Stoners glass cleaner.
Back lit, heavy overcast
Tomorow the inside

Wow!!! all that in only four hours 
It takes me two days (or afternoons) to do a complete wash + dry + clay + wax
.....and I have to add another day for the interior
Very nice job

I only put the NXT spray/booster wax on, as I had just put a coat of NXT Tech wax on 2 weeks ago.
Did not need to clay the whole car, just the front bumper, bonnet and in front of the rear wheels.
First time I clayed using soapy water, worked great
Thanks
