Default Late Winter/Early Spring Detail on my 2003 Silver Evo 8

My car was looking pretty beat (to me-at least)-as I saw some Marring and swirling,and all the protection had withered away as it wasn't beading or sheathing, so I figured I'd clean it up before school started up next week again. And the rear bumper also had turned a nice beige/light pewter from my "exhaust" and running E85
Car: 2003 Apex Silver Lancer Evolution

Products used:
Day 1:
Chemical Guys Citrus Wash Clear (Strip Away all waxes)
Riccardo Clay(For the entire car)
Meguiars Red Agressive clay(Rear bumper)- To take away all the catless soot/browning...
Chemical Guys Wheel Cleaner(I'll admit its not the best)
Chemical Guys Luber(Clay lube)-Really slick working product....
Chemical Guys Window Cleaner(Used after applying polish since I didn't have my IPA(Isopropyl Alcohol).
Menzerna SIP (Orange)
Menzerna SIP (Surbuf)-Amazing combo...takes out 90% of defects with just once passthrough
Chemical Guys V36 (Green)
Makita Rotary Polisher(On the hood/trunk)
Porter Cable DA Polisher(rest of the car)
PoorBoys Blackhole Glaze
