Default Nanoskin Towel + Adam's 2 Step Polish + Blackfire Crystal Seal

So I do my Z, I thought I would try some new products together on my 9-7x. I haven't detailed my 9-7x in 3 years, so the paint was let's just say in need of some TLC.
Started with a rinseless wash, Adam's, to clean the SUV.
Then, instead of using a clay bar, I used one of the Nanoskin towels. WOW! I will never, and i mean never use a clay bar again. That thing is amazing.
Then, I hit it with two rounds of polish using Adam's Two Step system. Light correction and then finish.
Then, Blackfire Crystal Seal. I had never used this before, but it is so easy to use. And the results of this process ... easiest detail of my life and this thing looks awesome ... can't wait to do my Z!

Nice job! Did you used an orbital polisher or just manual polishing?
What does the naniskun towels have that beats a clay bar?
I needed to polish my truck. White color just never shine as dark colors.

DA polisher, won't go back to doing the job by hand.
As for the difference between the towel and a bar, it's just the material. But, let's put it this way, when a car normally takes say 1.5 hours to clay (my suv was in need!), i got done with the towel in 20 mins. it works wonders compared to traditional clay.

Nice work. My poor Z could use a good detail too! I was going to buy Adams detail kit but this might work.

Once you use a synthetic clay towel/pad you won't go back. They perform at 90% the level of traditional clay but is like 3 times faster. The only time I find myself reaching for my actual clay bar is to remove sap or tar.
