    This 2004 Highlander is owned by a friend of the family. She`s got a couple of cats, and they have a habit of getting on the hood, quarterpanels, etc, and causing a pretty nice set of RIDS. The hood also had some minor holograms and the car was covered in *deep* swirls.



    Before















    Process:



    Decon wash

    PG/black wool/1500rpm on hood and deep scratches (left some pretty holograms)

    Presta UCCL/Edge Green wool/1750rpm

    VG Cerious Compound/Orange CCS/1250rpm

    Prepsol Wash

    Poli-Seal/Edge green/Cyclo

    Opti-Seal x2



    CG O-Shine on tires and trim

    UQD on glass and wheels























    I *really* like how this one came out... underexposed with my next project in the background.









    Teaser for the next project... it`s a 91



    Once you buff black, you never go back

    Excellent recovery on that one. Did you still have some slight holograms after the green wool? I am sure the lexus will look great after you are done.

    Wool and 1750RPM.... wow that scares me just thinking about it. ( I`m still too scared of my RB to try it over 900.)



    Amazing correction though!
    You can say any foolish thing to a dog, and the dog will give you a look that says, `Wow, you`re right! I never would`ve thought of that!`

    Nice job! Before I got married, my wife`s cat used to jump on the cars and leave scratchmarks and pawprints all over. Luckily, the cat is much older now so she doesn`t go around jumping and climbing like before.

    Looks great, from my experience the clear on those highlanders is pretty hard, good product selection.
