The car had been repainted a few months ago.The painter wanted to remove the orange peel from the hood,roof and the trunk of the car

The results were terrible....

The rest of the car had only some swirls

The process was

Meguiars Diamond Cut on Megs 8`` wool pad on rotary

Meguiars #83 on PFW on rotary

Those had been used on the wet sanded areas,followed as the rest of the car with the below

Meguiars # 83 on DAS orange light cutting pad on UDM

Meguiar`s #80 on LC 6`` white polishing flat pad on UDM

Meguiar`s NXT WAX as LSP

The plastic trims were dressed with Meguiar`s plastic and trim dressing



Some random before pictures

Some random 50/50 shoots

The 50/50 on the wet sanded areas are after compounding with diamond cut so forgive some hazing

Thanks mate very very much...I guess that the sanded areas were worse than the right quarter,that`s why the painter sand them...Generally it is an awful paint job...

Thanks once again mate....:thx
