My buddy picked up this Blue Lagoon GLi about a month ago. It has under 30k on it but looks like someone was washing it with a broom. :angry It had some of the worst marring I've come across since the black Saab 9-5 I did( http://autopia.org/forum/click-brag/79729-01-a4-02-9-5-aero-56k-warn.html ) There was a ton a RIDS, some water spots, a really long deep scratch I wetsanded, and the usual swirls.
I thought I could use OHC on it with a yellow pad but it barely touched it. I ended up using HTEC and was still having trouble removing marring! I was dissappointed with the marring left but I removed ~95%. The before pictures didn't capture how bad it really was but you get the point.
My final process was:
ONR Wash
Clay magic clay with QEW mix as lube (trying to use up my QEW)
HTEC with a yellow LC pad @1700-2100 (Took 3-4 passes on every panel!)
OP with a white LC pad @1100-1500
JW AJ X2
Tires/Wheels/fenders washed with ONR
Wheels - Wheel wax
Tires - Megs Nxt Tech protectant
Fenders - AA extreme shine tire foam
Before:
The clay looked like this over the whole car.
