xfire is on a distinguished road
2007 Lotus Exige S

The car had 165 miles on the clock before I commenced my labor. Fortunately, I was given a ride in it and it was fun. The owner did not push it much since it was a new car, no problem with that though, I enjoyed it either way. Next time maybe I'll be able to drive it. Nevertheless, after the drive, the owner specifically wanted me to remove the dealer-induced swirls, so I got to work. Here was my process:

-ONR
-Poli-seal applied with green Edge 2000 pad and PC (despite my complaints about sealing capabilities, the product truly cuts clearcoat well when used with a light-cut pad. I've been able to produce a swirl-free finish on Audi paint a few days ago! This stuff truly saves me time)
-Collinite 476S
-P21S

I really took my time on this one, which made me stay till late, meaning no nice reflection shots or good metallic flake shots either. Nevertheless, I liked the way the paint came out. One problem that I could not correct though was the "marring" on the starshield towards the front of the car. I heard you should not polish this area, so I did not. Any suggestions on how to remove scratches/marring on the starshield? You can probably see marring on some of the before pictures.
