Process:
Wash: Dawn to get rid of wax/Meguire’s Gold otherwise
Meguire’s Clay Bar with Spray Lube
After a test spot of m205 I upped it to m105 and that got the swirls out.
M105 with 5.5”LC Orange pad using a PC
M205 with 5.5” LC White pad
M205 with 4” LC Orange Pad for various small things
3M 2000 Grit Sand paper for some big scratches
Wheels: Meguires All Wheel and Tire Cleaner
Free Labor from Bawazir and his Cousin = Priceless (LOL They wanted to learn to use the PC and I was happy to give some pointers)
The Beginning

Clayed and the car was a little dirty

Test spot on the hood with the reflection of the ceiling light.

Bawazir and his cousin learning how to use the PC (My LC white pad with M205 turned out to be difficult for the new PC users. It would bunch up or fly off. After a few instructions, they were able to keep the pad flat on the paint and remembered to turn off the machine before lifting the pad off).

A Megs Gold wash getting ready to blowdry and wax

All waxed up with probably the worst wax I have had the pleasure to work with. I was paid to buff so when they brought wax I decided I wanted to see a finished product for some reason. Don’t remember what wax it was but it took the better part of 30 minutes to wipe the residue off.

And the Finished Shots.
