My schedule has been pretty busy recently, so I'm posting up a lot of pictures. This car looked much worse than pictures showed in the befores. Problem areas of tar that wasn't removed by clay, I tried a little bit of Acetone. Got it off, and it looked perfect again after I washed the residue off.
Wash with Meguiars Soft Touch
SSR 2.5 x3 by PC #6 on LC Cutting Pad then Polishing Pad Klasse AIO brought a little bit of warmth to the paint
Klasse SG make the paint look WET!
Megs Hot Shine on tires
Wheel Wells with AA
I was amazed how wet the paint looked. I mean, it was DRIPPING! Qualities I've never seen from Klasse.

A couple of observations and questions,
SSR 2.5 X3 ... that must have taken hours? The swirls all appear to have gone in the after shots, had they actually gone - some swirls are only visible in direct sunlight, like the first pics show.
What process did you use to apply SG, my first (and only) experience with SG was that I applied by hand, and managed to get too much SG on there, and it was a nightmare trying to get it off again!
Once again, superb job you did  | |
