White can look nice once it is clean.

Did you apply a LSP after Meg's D151? Did you use the orange / white pads depending on the correction needed?
 
Looks good! I still love the looks of those cars, even though I'm not a fan of the wheels.

Obviously could've gone further with the polishing based on the condition shown in your before pics, but since the customer didn't pay for it.... :(

He said it daily driven and he sometime birngs the car to the local hand wash down the stret so a full correction would be a waste of his money. He just wanted to get the gloss back and have it look better then a swirled out mess

That's just some real nice work on a basic cleanup. I've got a lot of folks that are trying to keep me busy part-time on that type of work. On some of the vehicles I'd love to do the full correction but that kind of work and result would be totally lost on them and they won't pay for it.

So, how's the protection longevity of D151? I've been doing one-steps with Poli-Seal or KAIO with decent results. The folks that I really like or on cars that deserve it I'll sometimes add a quickie of Opti Seal or OCW. Didn't know if D151 would stand up to the detergents used at the touchless washes, which is where most of my 1-step jobs are gonna end up until I see 'em again.

Nice work, as usual!

This was one reason I asked about the LSP. I was curious there were any expectation.
