Justin and I teamed up again last weekend on this Proweler, which belongs to a good client of mine. The paint condition was actually in very good shape overall, but it did had several moderate scratches scattered thorough out the finish where were deeper than what could be removed with a 1-step polish. At first we were just going to try and spot hit the deeper ones, but after washing and inspecting the finish more closely, it was clear that there was just too many and it made more sense to just go with a full 2-step correction. Total correction achieved from our process was about 90-95%.
Process:
Wash - Foamed with CGCW and OPC, rinsed, then washed with CGCW.
Wheels - CG Diablo Gel and various brushes, polished with Mothers mini power ball and Megs chrome polish
Tires - OPC, dressed with Megs Hyper Dressing
Suspension comp - OPC and various brushes
Clay - Blackfire clay and M34 as lube
Paint correction - D300/MF on the GG6 followed by PO85RD/Crimson LC on the Flex PE14 rotary
Glass - Megs D120
Exhaust tips - Megs Chrome polish
Coating Prep - Foamed with CGCW and OPC, rewashed with CGCW followed by Eraser wipe-down
Coating - Optimum Opti-Guard, applied to paint, trim, and wheels.

Owner had several areas with wax/polish splatter or excess in cracks....jokingly I told him I was taking his Porter Cable away from him.
Foaming car down
Justin doing work on the suspension arms
No more beading!
Metallic made capturing defect difficult...
We got rocking on the D300 to give Justin a head start to where I could followe behind with PO85RD on the rotary
Carefully working the 3" and 4" in some tight areas
VERY carefully working the front grill with 3" Opt MF pads on the rotary at low rpm's
Justin going to town on the wheels
Two person application of OG is great!
