Finally got a chance to clean the Fit up

Well, I didn't get a chance to snap any before pics, when you have 2 kids, time's a virtue. Anyway, here was the process:

Wash car with foam gun (CG CWG in the gun)
Clayed with some junk ass Megs clay
Optimum Poli Seal via PC with 4" green pad (speed 6)
Opti Seal (2 applications)
303 on tires
Prima Clarity on windows
Adams undercarriage on the wheel wells
Eagle one to clean tires and wheels
Duragloss Marine QD with some Aquawax mixed in on the wheels



It took me a little bit to get the hang of the Poli Seal as it disappears almost instantly but I made 2-3 passes which worked pretty good. On the other hand, the Opti Seal is the shiznit, stuff is great!
