- Spray down w/ hose again
- Spray w/ 303 Protectant
- Use towel to rub it in

<b>Second Step - Wheel Clean:</b>
- Apply PB Spray and Rinse (put on MF towel and wipe on).

<b>Third step - Wash/Dry Exterior:</b>
- Get 2 buckets

- Spray down car w/ hose
<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v129/Euro_Addict/IMG_0290.jpg">


- Wet wash mitt then "dunk" it into soap bucket
**note** When washing w/ mitt, don't put your hand inside it. Just put your hand on top and glide it across the car. Less force is used so less chance of having anything happen to the paint.
- After you have glided the mitt over the car, "dunk" it 1st into the bucket w/ just water to clean it off. Then "dunk" it back into the bucket w/ soap.
*Repeat till car is clean*
- Get MF towel and begin drying
- Don't wipe the towel in a circular motion. Always do it in straight lines.
*Would have sheet rinsed the car but couldn't get the nozzle off *





<b>Step Four/five - Polishing:</b>
- Plug in your PC7424 and get ready to have fun.
<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v129/Euro_Addict/IMG_0304.jpg">


- Put on the orange pad.
- Put a small ring of Menzerna Intensive Polish around the outside of the pad.
<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v129/Euro_Addict/IMG_0314.jpg">


- Take the PC and "smear" the product from the bad onto the panel of the car you are going to be working on.
- Start off w/ PC on #3 to "wipe" in the product to the paint.
- Turn it up to #5 and take your time going over the area.
<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v129/Euro_Addict/IMG_0306.jpg">


- Go left to right making sure to overlap as your coming back on your passes.
- Then go up and down w/ the same method.
- Once your area is done, grab a MF towel and wipe off the product
- Stop to take pics of your goofy reflection.

- Followed those steps till I was done.
- Took off the Orange pad and now put on the white pad
- Applied menzerna FP II and did the same-steps that I did w/ the Intensive Polish

<b>Step Six - Waxing:</b>
- Take the white pad off the PC and put on the Black pad.
- Apply small ring of PB EX around the outter edge.
- Smear it on the same way as you would a polish.
- Set speed on PC to about 4.5
- Glide PC over area you are waxing.
*This step goes much quicker then polishing.*
- You don't have to go as slow as you do when polishing and can cover a larger area at one time.
- Wipe off w/ MF towel and proceed to next panel till finished.

<b>Step Seven - Tire Dressing:</b>
- Apply PB Bold 'n Bright to the tires and wipe off.
<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v129/Euro_Addict/IMG_0345.jpg">

- Simple as that
<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v129/Euro_Addict/IMG_0346.jpg">

<b>Step eight - Pictures:</b>
- Take an obscene amount of pics
- Gawk at the outcome
