Thanks guys!

yea I did it myself and by hand. I do have a Dewalt buffer that I did break out on the rear roof section.

Wash was Poorboys wash.
Clay was Zaino Brothers
Wax was Pinnacle Signature Series II Carnauba Paste

Tires... love them so far. I started a review on them here:

Steed...late to your thread and the viewing, but
I must remark that the "wax job"/cleaning and,
the Pics, are Titz!

Wow...that blue looks good and well captured,
esp that pic in the tall grass. Well done, imo!

The clay MAY do it... but if it is superglue, you may need to wetsand.

I had to remove some superglue off a friends car. (some kids prank) I had to wetsand, compound, 3 step polish. It took a bit of time to get it right.

Less is more if you know what I mean. Start with the clay, then move to compound (med cut) and then go from there. I also use a Dewalt machine. http://www.detailking.com/content/view/79/187/
