2012 Buick Regal GS. Owner contacted me about a detail and Opti-Coat a few months back when he first got the car, we were finally able to get together and get the paint taken care of. Overall it was pretty much swirl free with the exception of some buffer swirls on the driver's door. A shopping cart hit it when the car was a couple days old, the dealership did the PDR and used a rotary to remove a paint transfer. Only other spot was some marring on the corner of the trunk lid.

Rest of the car was like this even before polishing:
After polishing and Opti-Coat:
ONR wash, Opti-Raser mild to lightly clay (paint was already pretty smooth)
Optimum Hyper Compound using a 5" Meguiars microfiber cutting disc and my Porter Cable 7424 XP on the driver's door and trunk lid marring
Optimum Hyper Polish using a 6" Optimum microfiber cutting pad and my PC
ONR wash
Optimum Coating (new name for the pro version) on the paint and wheels
Armor All on tires/fenderwells
Cloudy to hazy sunshine so the lighting was changing throughout the picture taking process. But it was over 70 again!
My car not looking too bad for not having been washed for a week...
