This is a pretty useless post, but just thought I'd post that if you plan on cleaning your glass with a Orbital Polisher, might want to do that first before detailing the rest of the car.
Granted, I had no experience with a orbital polisher and probably used way too much G4 cleaner....
I spent 1 1/2 days thoroughly detailing and had just finished putting a ceramic coat on and then a coat of butter wax on top. (A bit overboard, I know, and this was on top of my PPF )
I proceeded to use the orbital on my windshield, focusing on ensuring I don't get near the paint or lose grip of the orbital, not noticing my car and myself was being splattered with cleaner.
Needless to say, I spent the rest of the day removing the massive splatters of glass polisher off the body of the car.
A couple lessons learned, use the glass polisher sparingly and probably best to do the glass first. At least in my case.
At least I was able to finally remove the grime that was on my windshield since it came from Tesla. No amount of alcohol, panel wipe, magic eraser(melamine) or elbow grease was able to get it prior.
Now my wife's Model Y's windshield is taunting me.... It still has that mystery Tesla grime on it but my arms need a rest!
