This was some of the worst paint I have ever seen or dealt with. If you could have seen all the scratches and swirls you would have thought it was washed with a rake on a regular basis. You can see how awful it is in the before pictures, but they don't even do the justice. I gave them some washing tips, so I hope I wont have to do any correction on this car for awhile.

Wash and Clay Process:
-CAR Products Sud'Sational Shampoo
-Sonus Ultra-Fine Clay
-Hand Dried with MF

Rims&Tires:
-CAR Products Kling-On on rims
-CAR Products Blast on tires
-CAR Products Sparkleberry Dressing on tires

Interior:
-Dressed With CAR Products Sparkleberry
-Windows cleaned with Sprayaway
-CAR Products Orchard Breeze Odor Eliminator

Paint Correction:
CAR Products Razor Cut 1000 w/wool pad and rotary
SSR3 Yellow Pad with PC
SSR2 White Pad with PC

LSP:

AFTERS: (I wasn't totally done yet. Still had to finish dressing the trim on a few spots I missed, but I wanted to take the pictures before the sun went down so there were a few tiny things left to do before pickup)

Oh she was thrilled when she came to pick it up...I way undercharged on it:wall, but I guess its alright to give somebody a deal once in awhile.

Nice work. How did you managed to get those swirls out from the door handels?

I used my Razor Cut 1000 by hand in there, followed it with ssr2 and a wax. I dont know why but it seems like the clear is much softer under the handles and I always have good luck getting those kinds of scratches out by hand.
 
Looks great - Am sure the customer was extremely pleased with the outcome.

Why did you stop using the rotary when you went to the SSR 3? That probably took a lot longer using the PC than the rotary.

I got enough of the defects out using my Razor Cut with the wool that I just felt I could go right to PC to start getting some of the compound swirls out.
