Hola. Long day of haggling with car dealers, thought I`d post some pics to help unwind.
First up, a 2003 spa yellow Acura NSX. Condition was moderate swirling and heavy road tar, otherwise nothing really major. The owner uses it as a daily driver.
Wash with Z7
Clay
Hood got EC/OP @1500
Rest of the car got Heavy Cut @ 1500
Whole car 106ff @1300
Acrylic Jett

Next up was his co-workers Nissan 350Z, intergalagos fire red? I dunno, a cool color though! The car was pretty rough, fairly deep swirls left after a botched dealer compounding (holograms readily apparent), some deep scratches and some really deep bird etchings and water spots. I think it sat on a lot for awhile.
Wash with Z7
Clay
EC/OP @1500
Heavy cut via 4 inch pads on some bird poop etchings
Smooth Cut @ 1300
Acrylic Jett
This car did not come out 100%. The bird poop etchings were too deep to fully remove, I wetsanded them pretty aggressivly, no luck.

2003 Infiniti G35, black of course! Moderate swirling but the owner was actually fairly good at keeping it in good shape, he just didn`t have the tools to do a proper swirl removal. Sorry no befores, it was raining/murky when I arrived. In fact, it rained on and off most of the day (as you`ll see in the last pic!). Luckily it was not at inoportune times.
Process was:
Wash
Clay
Heavy Cut @ 1500
Smooth Cut @ 1300
Souveran
First time I`ve been able to go from a rotary to LSP on a black G. Heavy + Smooth cut is a great combo.

2004 Imola Red M3. Again the owner was very particular but the car had heavy swirling. Process:
EC/OP @1500
106FF @ 1300
RMG
Souveran
Used RMG because the owner requested at the expense of durabilty that I "make red look the best I know how". :) You can tell which are the befores and afters!
