From 30ft away the defects were clearly visible, paint had no depth:

From 5 ft away, the entire vehicle had significant scratches, holograms, swirls:
Even closer, very condensed swirls:
Washed with ONR, clayed with Meguiars Mild, wheels received P21S gel and Meguiars APC on tires/wells. All of which took a little less than an hour- a second hour was spent removing old wax/compound/product from every seam/gap/jamb.
Masking exterior trim with 3M green tape and doing a few test spots:
In addition to the old product left to harden, and heavy holograms, the front edge of the drivers door was burned down to the primer by the previous detailer. All of this made me hesitant towards jumping right into M105 with yellow or wool; so the majority of the Supra was corrected with M85 on green foam and finished with M205 on blue via a Makita rotary.
The burn through on the edge of the door, you can still see the tape residue from my 3M 1/4" Fine Line- I was taking no chances making it worse:
A few side by side comparisons:
Very difficult to get 100% correction out of this while keeping as much of the remaining single stage paint build , the pics may show that in most cases, but honestly it wasn't perfect. Seven hours later, two of which were spent in prep and cleaning up the hardened wax from emblems and door handles:
Ready to leave, topped with Nattys Red, Meguiars Non Silicone Tire Dressing and 303 Aero on the lower plastics:
