Default First attempt @ detailing

I just finished detailing the Z. I've been reading / watching everything I can get my hands on and followed a combination of Junkman's and Adam's videos. I purchased a PC 7424XP from Amazon for ~$120. I also got a leaf blower from Lowe's for ~$20 (ty Xan). I used Meguiars microfiber mitts (one for top half of the car / one for bottom) and I got a Foammaster II from Amazon for about $38. The rest was from Adam's. I got a full set of 6.5" pads, Swirl and Haze Remover, Fine Machine Polish, Machine SuperWax, Detailer Spray, All Purpose Cleaner, and some Glass Microfiber towels (which were amazing).

I was about to give up within the first hour because it seemed like too big of a job and I was HOT! I stuck with it and I'm glad I did. It looks considerably better than when I paid someone $150 to detail it a few weeks ago.

Thanks to Junkman and Adam's for the info and great products.
