Ok, so this is my gf`s car and it`s my first car with a rotary- my recently acquired Flex 3403.
White car and in very rough shape. Some of the paint was stained with some black and grey stuff. I wasn`t able to remove this stuff entirely- it was in deep. Process was:
rinseless wash with UWW
wheels with Sonax, then Hydro2 sealed
sonax fallout remover then nanoskin
two bucket wash with DG 501
attempted spot clean of stains with OPC
Cut on speed 2/3(1500/1900) w/ last of WGUC and HD cut- foamed wool pads 5.5"- everything except the roof, since it wasn`t in too bad of shape.
Used 3" orange cutting pad and HD cut to get the pillars and other tight spots, plus for spot correction(particularly stained areas).
Polished heavily swirled areas with 3" green pad and WG TSR.
Cleared up the headlights with Mirka sanding discs-500,1000, 2000,3000,4000, then HD cut.
Polished roof with 7.5" pink CCS pad and TSR.
Final polished entire vehicle with tangerine 5.5" and HD polish.
Quick once over with UWW, then IPA wipe.
Topped with Collinite 915, cleaned the windows, tires with 303, black trim with Mothers back to black.
Did the wash and decon last night. Got up early this morning to do the machine work. Started at 8:30am, finished at 3:45.

Overall, good turn around for a day. Paint is definitely much brighter. Couldn`t get a good pic early of all the swirls and scratches in the paint. Was able to level most of it, though not quite all of it. Perfection wasn`t the goal, just a decent looking turn around and the chance to get some practice with the 3403. I love the rotary so far!
