I've also wet sanded a few cars in my time ;) inc my last leon cupra which came out like glass,
Andy, I don't want to paint it if I don't have to. The bumper prob will get painted as its quite peppered but don't fancy doing a bonnet blend just yet haha

This is the best guide ive seen, but a bit of patients is needed:

Half of what he does is kind of pointless
The way he keys the chip won't actually key in the chip just round it so that's an un needed step. As is applying wax then taking it off. You can simply fill the chip, the paint won't come out, the chip by its very nature is an touch un even surface with may areas for the paint to grip. I always go for the overnight cure, can imagine quite a few people burning the paint, not to mention heating the paint forces the curing prices and lifts the paint, maybe why he gets his paint coming out of the chips he fills.
Just my opinion of course. As I don't have fancy black gloves or expensively named earbuds ;)

Yeah i think the wax step is overkill....
But to be fair, he is known as one of the best detailers in the world.

Hey guys
Well I finished off the golf today,
The process:
3m fast cust plus on Indasa yellow compound pad
3m fast cut plus on 3m yellow pad
3m yellow top on 3m yellow pad
3m ultrafina on soft pad.
Autoglym hd wax
Autoglym fast glass
Autoglym rubber dressing
303 aerospace dressing
Autoglym tyre dressing
The results, I'm super happy with. The bonnet looks chinless as do the wings which was my intention.
Here are some pics.
