1996 Porsche Turbo, only 13,000 miles on it.
Paint was pretty rough, not really that oxidized for being an 18 year old single stage paint job but it was pretty swirled up.
During compounding/polishing steps
Got color transfer?
Interior was pretty much mint, just a light cleaning with water and Woolite @ 20:1, vinyl dressed with Meguiars Interior Quick Detailer and leather with Duragloss #221 Leather Conditioner-which smells exactly like Zaino's leather conditioner...oh yeah, because Duragloss makes Zaino's products.
Really need to start using my digital camera for low light shots, my cellphone goes full potato in low light.
Full process on the paint:
ONR wash
Optimum Opti-Clay Black (aggressive)
ONR wash and Optimum Power Clean at 3:1 to clean the wheels and wheel wells
Optimum Hyper Compounding using an Optimum microfiber cutting pad followed by an Optimum orange foam cutting pad (which cuts the hazing down considerably) using my Rupes 21 DA
Meguiars M100 using a Meguiars microfiber cutting pad followed by an Optimum orange foam cutting pad on the left front fender-paint was noticeably harder, slight mismatch in color too. But appears to be factory-maybe they used the wrong fender on it?
Optimum Primer Polish using a Rupes yellow polishing pad and Rupes
Optimum Opti-Seal
Armor All on the tires and wheel wells.
Would have liked to pull it outside but this was at a dealer and they were moving cars all around to put them up for the night. Plus their back area is gravel.
-------------------------
2007 BMW 335 6 speed. Overall in pretty good shape, just a basic full detail.
ONR wash
Opti-Clay yellow (mild)
Optimum Hyper Polish using an orange Optimum foam waffle cutting pad and Rupes DA
Opti-Seal
Armor All on tires/wheel wells
Proper number of pedals!

2006 Honda Civic. Customer wanted it cleaned up for his sister, who was selling the car. I was warned in advance it was rough...half and half on the hood shows how hazy the paint was.
ONR wash
Opti-Clay yellow (mild)
Optimum Hyper Polish using an orange Optimum foam waffle cutting pad and Rupes DA
Opti-Seal
Armor All on tires/wheel wells
Interior was rough to say the least.
Optimum Power Clean at 3:1 dilution to clean
Optimum Protectant Plus to dress
