Ok so I have a Marauder here. Mike (the client) was referred to me by Steve the owner of the Black Marauder I did previously.



This Marauder was red with some minor swirling and just normal wear and tear of life. Upon inspection the top surfaces were in much rougher shape than the sides due to water etching so I decided to go with a 2 step on the top surfaces and a 1 step was sufficient for the sides.



Products:

Flex 3401

D300 w/ MF cutting disc (Hood)

Uber Orange w/ Gtechniq P1 (Top of trunk and roof)

Uber Green w/ Menz 203 (Whole Car)

Seal w/ Blackfire Wet Diamond

Wax w/ Nattys Red



My process was:

Wash and foam with OPC

Wash with a mix of Dawn and Car wash soap

Dry with Guzzler and Leaf Blower

Polish paint (See above)

Dress tires with DP



On to the Pics

This Marauder was red ..



I always enjoy Panther Platform threads, especially ones with DTR paint, which I really like on those cars! Nice work.



How did the D300/MF compare to the P1/Uber Orange? Most Panthers have kinda medium clear so I`d expect both combos to cut well.

I think I may have seen this on another forum before, but the car looks awesome! I love that color on the Marauders.

Thank you! D300 had more cut than P1/Orange but I did like P1. It had a nice working time and was easy to work with. I will be getting a bigger bottle of it when I place my next order from them I think. I only picked up the small 4oz or so bottle to try out. Its just another tool in the arsenal just in case I need it.

I put it on a few other forums before but since I joined here not too long ago I figured I would post it up. Thanks for the compliments. I really liked the color as well.
