So a friend of mine bought this car earlier in the year from a dealership and it used to be a rental car, so just imagine the shape it was in when I got it today to do paint correction and some sealant on it for winter. I didn`t get a lot of before pics as I was trying to get it done fairly quickly but it still took me 15 for the exterior and a quickie on interior. So now some pics.

Yes stealies but they need loving too

Then after two washes one with ironx car soap and bdx presoaked on paint it still needed a claying, it was like 30 grit sandpaper, lol. So I went through 1 1/2 of this bottle of clay lube.

So this was what the whole car was covered in

So what I used rupes lhr21 mkII with b&s maroon and Menzerna po91e followed by b&s yellow with Menzerna final finish. The paint was then wiped with optimum paint prep followed in this order pbw white diamond glaze, wg deep gloss paint sealant, wg deep gloss spritz, and last but not least wg FuZion spray wax.

I hope you guys like, my friend sure is and I was surprised of the out come compared to how it came in.

Wow, I need to get some Menzerna po91e/IP2000. That looks great. I don`t know why I haven`t tried po91e/IP 2000. I`ve got three Menzerna polishes (fg400, pg1000 & SF3500) but nothing in their mid-polish range?

there have been times where i was able to do a pretty nice job one stepping with the po91e and a finishing pad, looking back i probably should have tried that on this car as soft as the paint was

i just need more euro tech pads as most pads i have dont seem to like the long throw polishers
