Well i took advantage of the 57* and sunny with a 2mph breeze and decided to clean the whip. The paint was still very smooth even with all of the road salt, so I didn't claybar it at all.
Steps: Wet, 1z anti-insekt the front bumper, wash, dry, spray wax to remove hardwater spots, intensive polish with wool pad, final polish with blue CCS foam pad, hand wax with royal blue, windows, tires/wheels cleaning.Nuff with the small talk, here are the pics

Still need to do some swirl removal and do the insides. I'd like to do a 3stage job but with the paint as old as it is, I'm not sure of the depth of the clearcoat remaining.
That is all.
