Great job man. I was looking for a good leather conditioner. I'll give the optimum products a try. Btw, what % tint do you have on your windows? I want something like yours, not too dark...

I suggest going one shade darker on the rear windscreen, that way the tint appears even when looking through the car at an angle.

Not really but I prefer to knock it all out while the car is not being moved. Best time to drive around is during the polishing phase, when I'm going panel by panel. Car looks funny but it doesn't really interrupt anything driving around.

Thanks. It's my first time using M205, I can't say it "wowed" me in any particular way. -- Edit: I didn't mention it in the writeup but the 303 Aerospace Protectant is a BRILLIANT product.

Dude looks great as always, I should have put some pics up after my detail. I only polished some trouble areas that I noticed. In hind sight next time I will just do the entire car. But polishing is a shit load of work. I also didn't use the klausse sealent the correct way so wound up having to redo it (much better the 2nd time around). I use the 303 on everything ( obviously not the carpet stuff), think I should use something else for the seats?
Also I take off the handle on the porter cable for polishing horizontal surfaces and use it for verticle only. I feel is lessens the chance of an accidental hit on the paint.

Charles what brush did you use on the wheels there? I hate my wheel brush and I know your wheels are as much of a PITA as mine are. If you like yours, I need to get one.
(sorry if it's already in the list you provided - i couldn't tell for sure what you were using on the wheels by the description) ps - god DAMN is le mans blue a great color.

Good idea taking off the PC's handle, I ended up not using it about half the time. Quote:

Do post pics of the detail. Quote:
You can always break up the detail into small parts. Order I did this one: Day 1: Initial wash, clay - 4 hrs Day 2: Polish - 4 hrs Day 3: Polish - 4 hrs Day 4: Finish polish, wash, glaze/seal, wheels (everything else, basically) - 6 hrs
