Polishing comments:
I tried M205 w/ Green CCS at speed 6 on the PC as a one step polish, it did pretty well on the soft clear, but would not get out 100% of the RIDS.

Car was an exterior detail, but I still gave the car a quick vac and cleaned all the inside glass.

Nice job! Gotta love Zaino products. I've been using them for 10 years now, always satisfied with the results.
