I will go ahead and enter.
This is my brothers newly leased ride.
Was one stepped polished with another manufacturers polish using Rupes yellow pads with various Rupes tools. Coated with two coats of TiO2 and topped with Gliss V1.

2 bucket wash
Claybar roof and apply 1:1 vinegar/distilled water mix to address some water mark etching left from the dealer. Left to dwell and wiped off but didn’t seem to help much.
Applied Meg’s Fine Cut Cleaner with orange pad and followed up with M205 finishing polish with red pad. This did the trick! Carpro Eraser then Meg’s TechWax 2.0 sealant as last step.
Due to extreme heat here in Phoenix, I decided not to move forward with polishing & sealant on the rest of the car. I instead used Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish to protect/extend existing sealant for a couple more months.
I am just a detail enthusiast trying to learn more as I go while trying to keep up with maintenance/detailing of the 3 cars in the family. (2018 Honda Accord, 2007 Pacifica, 2006 Acura TL)

Although it doesn't meet the contest criteria, the pics were actually taken in July but thought i'd post it anyway. This was immediately after I finished correcting the paint during my first ever major detail. At that time I was using Meg's products. Polished with Meg's Ultimate Polish. Mod's delete if you wish. About 10-12 hours went into the polishing. Forgot to mention it is a 2017 Chevy Malibu LT in Dark Blue Velvet Metallic. Darn near black.
To add a little story behind the detail, I'm a 68 yr. old guy who recently retired in May of this year. We purchased this vehicle to hopefully last quite a number of years being that it would most likely be our last vehicle purchase for a longggg time. My retirement portfolio "sucks" and social security is next to nothing after all these years. I have always enjoyed keeping my vehicles clean and now with retirement, I can spend more time doing so. Washing & waxing has been fun but as you can imagine, it takes it's toll on most people especially seniors. My decision to convert to ceramics was done with the hope of less effort in the upkeep of my car.
I am jealous of you guys, as there are some amazing photos on this page and throughout this forum!!
