Default White Lancer 1 Step and NASIOC's Nelly's Saabaru STi Detailed

Detailed this white White Lancer for the sister of the Black EP3 Civic that I detailed a few weekends ago. I inspected it when I did the black EP3 Civic and it wasn't in bad shape, so we agreed on a 1 step polish on it.

I used Klasse All In One with a white pad on it
Stoner's Glass Cleaner on exterior glass
Hi Temp Wheel Cleaner
Meguiars Hyperdressing (3:1) on tires and all exterior plastic (cowl, wiper arms, etc)
#0000 steele wool/glass cleaner on exhaust

Not likely. I've got 3.5 month old twin girls now, so I'm lucky to be able to get away for these side jobs.

I usually pour the polish on the pad, blot it on the panel and then start polishing. I did that x2 then I put the polish directly on the door/scratch and then started polishing again, with some extra pressure on the buffer. I use a DA, so no need to worry about burning the paint.

I didn't clean the inside of his car at all, but I use Stoners Glass cleaner on my cars when I clean the glass, on both the exterior and interior.
