Detailed this for a local racing forum member. It's a lease, and the owner apparently polished the entire car with metal polish. Basically it looks like someone rubbed sandpaper all over the car....
I had the worst hangover of my life when I started on this thing and felt like I was going to vomit all over the car every time I bent down, but luckily I got it done without my breakfast ending up on the car.
OK so enough of that...this was a single stage paintjob, and luckily the paint was pretty soft. The Flex 3401 was used for everything, but I used the PC 7424 with 3.5" PFW pads on the bumpers.
Process was as follows:
-Wash with DG 901
-Clay with new "sample" clay I'm testing, which worked quite well
-Opti-Seal on wheels, PB BnB on tires
-Meguiar's #105 on exhaust tips
Paint correction:
-Meguiar's #105 with yellow LC cutting pad
-Menzerna Power Finish with LC green polishing/finishing pad
-Wolfgang Fuzion Paste Wax
Power Finish works awesome, just what you would expect from Menzerna. Great working time, little to no dusting, and finished down VERY nicely. 105 didn't leave behind any noticeable hazing, but Power Finish took the finish to the next level. Some of the deeper stuff couldn't be taken out completely (wetsanding required), but they didn't want it perfect - just good enough so that the dealership wouldn't notice all the scratches all over the car.
The pictures can say the rest....
Oh, this is what the previous um, "detailer" left for me:
