This is my first click and brag, I normally just browse the forums, but I guess it is about time to make a few posts.
The pictures aren`t the best as I had to borrow a camera for this, but hopefully you all will get an idea.
First off, this is my personal car, and of all the cars I have done it is the one that gives me all the problems. The car has the softest finish I have ever dealt with. While other GTOs I have worked on have had a soft clear, this one takes the cake.
I started off trying to correct some light hazing I had left behind last time I detailed the car, and I ended up just using a PC with a white pad and Optimum polish, I tried FP on white and somehow it still left micro marring.
Process:
Clay
Optimum Polish via PC speeds 6-3
FMJ
P21S 100%
Befores:
Only very light hazing, it is barely visible in the pictures
