Well, the 944 belongs to a client that also owns an 07 911S with only 7K miles. He got this 944 Turbo, with 100K miles to be his beater car, to keep the miles down on the 911.

Process:
Wash with Surf City Garage soap
Clay with Adams grey, ONR as lube
Polished with KBM using the PC and Meguiar's 86 for the polish. I used both whote and orange LC 5.5" pads.
Collinite 476S was applied, and buffed off with Optimum Car Wax

Interior:
Vacuumed, and everything was wiped down with Optimum Protectant Plus. Zep Glass Cleaner used on the glass.

Afters only (The client is getting the front bumper resprayed, as well as the panel between the headlights, so I didn't mess with them):

Next up, the Challenger...

Hemi Challenger. It was a "new car prep". The car had areas that were wetsanded at either the dealer or factory, and not buffed out. H/owever, the entire car was covered in buffer trails, so someone tried to buff it at some point.

Befores:
Buffer trails...

Light swirls...

a little tar...

This was an exterior only, so I washed the car with ONR, and taught the owner to use it.

I then clayed with Adams grey clay, and ONR as lube. I spot compounded the wetsanded areas with the Makita, PFW, and 3M ECC. I then polished the whole car with the Flex, White LC pads, and Menzerna 203.

I sealed with Zaino Z5 and topped with Pinnacle Souveran.

The wheels got Optimum Poli Seal, and the tires got Giovanna Tire Gel.
Afters:

I haven't seen one of these posted yet, so I will offer that I found the paint to be on the softer side of medium, and easy to correct.
