Pre-Detail Inspection

I found some wax in EVERY! crevice of the vehicle, dealership detailed this car before me

So I went around with RG brush and non-acid wheel cleaner and had at it

I then washed, clayed the vehicle

lookin good as always!

1 step of polishing or 2 for this car?

Thanks Mr. Sparkle....good question, this was actually a 2 step And it required wet sanding as the mechanics took a chunk out of the paint with screw driver, while it was with them for a month (timing belt issues). It was also abused by the dealership "soft cloth" automatic car wash.
