Montego Blue RX7 Refresher

[metal]

25 degrees out today, so I thought I'd get outside and get my paint looking a bit better than it was. Got new tires mounted yesterday, so the paint had to be up to par too! I did a one step polish on it when I got the car about a month ago, and it cleared up maybe 75-80% of the defects, but there was still some light swirling and RIDS left, so I went to work on that today. Process was pretty much just OC on a yellow edge wool, via rotary, followed up by an OC/OP mix on a white CCS pad via rotary.



What most of the paint looked like before

And some afters

Ok, shock of my life yesterday when the sun was on it again.... :| I thought I had the paint perfectly defect and hologram free since I was working on it directly in the sun right? Apparently NOT, good thing I only did the left half.

OP on a white CCS pad, then followed up with OP on a black VC pad.
