Thanks! You can see wifey in background of far right picture "critiquing" the job. Did it over a three-day period, a section at a time... Mother's claybar with Mother's "Instant Detailer" as a lubricant, Meguiar's #2 polish, and Meguiar's #3 paste Carnauba wax. All three done on one section, then moving to the next. Probably about 9 hours altogether... removed front turn signals/ parking lights, license plate, etc. Would look better in full sun, but wife was about to drive car and I wanted to take the pics first.

Get any marring with that stuff, or is it pretty mild?

As long as everything is clean, it's very mild. I use the clay bar for spot touch-ups, then the Mothers' 3-step on my black paint and never had any trouble at all. But I don't have the patience to clay bar the whole car...

WStrohm: it looks great!
