The whole process took about 4 hours since I did everything by hand (PC sounds like a real good investment). I used the Mothers clay bar kit that cost around 15 bucks. It came with the Mothers QD which worked great. Now all I need to do is avoid break dusts and pollens ;X

I just bought this "kit" today and plan on doing the deed next week.

That black finish in you pics is giving me a toothache.
