Looks good, but next time when you are doing defect removal you want to use speed 6. (not 5) This will remove alot more defects at a much faster pace. But overall it came out great, Good Job!

Nice work on both exterior and interior. I agree with the others running all out on a speed 6. Also, I would recommend getting something for the wheel wells to dress them, such as Adam's Undercarriage Spray. Otherwise, looks like it could be sitting on a showroom floor!
