car was in good shape , but had some light scratches and light swirls from improper washing. i try 3 diff lights halogen , led and dual xenon and i couldn`t get a hold of a pic with the defects , only once i saw when the sun was rise early morning , so from 30 degree angle.
is a color that is very hard to see any imperfections, i try in dark and still couldn`t get a view or the light swirls.
readings was tekean around the car, healthy paint thickness.
i did some test spots ,and the winner was solo diamond polish pad and meg 205 with g110. as u can see in some of the before/after i manage to get more clarity in the paint reflection, and it improve the paint correction too.
process :
-wash with ONR method and clay with meg claybar and onr as lube
-wheels got wash with onr and p21s gel wheel cleaner , tires got endurance gel , and the wheels was sealed with klasse aio
-all trims and lights was taped
-paint got the above polish process
-seal was klasse with polycharger and top with optimum car wax
-door jams got klasse aio
-exhaust pipes was polish with meg metal paste
-inside was use z1 cockpit premium on dashboard,wood trim,screans,steering
-leather was treated with meg cleaner/conditioner
-windows was clean in and out
-lights front/rear was treated with rejeX
-vac inside

all taped , ready for magic!

Car must have been VERY clean, I see very little difference, except for the scratch repair.

pictures are too small , probably that`s why details dosn`t show. the wheels are different , look on inside of wheel , after it shine cause is clean , and for paint , is improved clarity after buff with 205 , and is visible.
i know is a hard to judge by the color4 , silver is difficult to spot imperfections.
but improvements was made.
her is another post where pictures are bigger

Looks great, I can see the difference. M205 really makes paint pop!
