Inspection after wash and clay:














You don't even need light to see the scratches/swirls..















Started out with SIP and a Sonus SFX-1 pad.. Still lots of RDS remaining..


Here is after SIP + Sonus SFX-1, Fast Cut Plus + Wool, 2x Powergloss + wool and 106ff + 3m finishing pad:







This car was perfect for me to practice using Powegloss compound!
So here we go..






Left side done:


After this I was tired of re-doing every panel to get rid of RDS.. So I wetsanded the other side:








Started polishing:


Tested with Sonus sfx-2 and 106ff after compounding, this combo did the trick!




And the rest:




These panels are NOT wetsanded, they are all swirled up!





And then the finishing:








Sunlight trough the window!




















Car was finished at 2am, so no good after pictures.. No sun
After Jetseal and Max Wax:

Are you kidding me? Someone used AJAX on their car WHAT THE HECK!!!!! Man.. nice turnaround.. but that just seems like an understatement!!!!! OUTSTANDING JOB!!!

That IS textbook paint correction!

Dude if you don't win the correction of the month award on here or somethin' I would be sooo confused

that just makes my head spin...what stellar work!

Wicked results, seeing the before pictures I knew you were going to rquire wet sanding...to get it looking the way you have that is well done the vehicle looks great.

You did an incredable job there, thank you for sharing with us

Oh question for you, what grit did you use?

Used 3m Imperial p2000 for this one, with ONR qd for lubrication.
Would love to have a ptg, like the one you have.. But it cost a fortune..

Had to buy a couple of the black 3m pads after seeing your polishing video..
Along with the 3m backing plate, it works nice!
But one problem though.. The pad is so soft, I had a hard time polishing along the edges..
What's your experience with this?

Thanks! Don't know if this car had any swirls, would rather call all of them scratches!

Looks like you put a LOT of work into this one and it paid off! Did the owner wash their car with a BURLAP SACK full of WALNUTS or what???
