Following Brad's (moderator) advice, I am continuing my slow removal of the paint defects on my used LS400. Every weekend with good weather I work on another piece of the puzzle. Today it was a first pass at the driver's side door panels and another pass at the roof. The color is Ebony Teal [Looks black but has clear coat unlike the SS Onyx.]
First picture shows only the driver's side door prepped with 3mPI-IIIRC and Megs 80. The passenger door (rt side of pic) was only washed and hand cleaned with Sonus PWC.

The next shows the completed roof. Previously I had DACPd, 3Md and polished the roof. Today I did some passes with 3MpIII-RC, Megs 80, and then NXT.

Still, there are all sorts of scratches and flecks I can't make disappear [at least when viewed at the right angle]. But I should learn to give up. I don't intend to get a rotary and there are limits to what a PC can do I suppose.
