Third vehicle from this client. He said he had a big show coming up and wanted to make it shine. I told him I could figure somethingo out.

vehicle arrived very clean so a N914 rw was all it needed and that was possibly overkill to clean it
nanoskin glide and red nanoskin clay sponge

Polish Angel Master Compound (urofiber)
Polish Angel Esclate (rupes yellow)

Thoughts:

Now, I know what you`re thinking... No Topper? Did he run out of High Gloss? Well no but it was hard to resist, however I chose to apply a total of 3 layers, two a few hours apart and one the following day at noon. And yes, I did see an improvement after each layer. I also noticed an increase in ludacris giggling and laughter in the garage as my eyes feasted on all that dang gloss.

Master Compound - I ran this much longer through its cycle this time (2nd time using it) and I will say it was such a delight to work with. I`m pretty sure it also smells like orange sherbert. It got a tad gummy but I think that was because of the heat the urofibers make when spun on the lhr21 mk2 for a longer amount of time. I didn`t go above spd 4. Wipeoff was easy. There was minimal hazing leftover, it definitely wasn`t LSP ready but I taped off a section and then wanted to see if Esclate would finish it off and much to my surprise it worked.

Esclate: I have only used this twice previous to this vehicle. Once as a 1step on a new Dodge Ram and once as a 3rd step prior to Centurion on a black Mercades. This is advertised as a very fine finishing polish/ pre wax treatement. I used it with great results with a yellow rupes pad on my mk2 earlier this year so I wanted to see how it would work here and I`m glad I did. The paint went from a little cloudy with some pad marks in it to deep and glossy as if it had just been polished and then waxed. This stuff is awesome, it does add gloss and "something" not sure if its protection but I`d consider it (and so does PA) a good match with any of their LSPs (other than cosmic v2). Ideally would have used PA Contour but I`m holding off on purchasing it myself right now.

Famous:
part of the carnaubaflokencreme line (which translated to Autopian means - holy flocken shine, I believe) . This is good stuff and made for all colors. There is a red specific one so it`s funny to think I left some shine potential on the table. It takes about two pea size drops to do a panel the size of the hood and then the applicator is primed enough to do both fenders without breaking stride. I left the second coat on overnight to cure and it removed just as easily if not easier than after letting it cure for the recommended 20 minutes.

Poorboys Wheel Sealant:
Shout out to this dinosaur in my garage, and one of those products that I`m always glad I have on the shelf. These wheels were horribly marred, looked like someone tried to run some device over them and made it worse. Owner didn`t have the funds to pay for polishing them so I put two layers of this on there and it sure made a big difference. I then topped it with Polish Angel Supersport and just look at those wheels on the exit video.
I probably forgot something so let me know if anyone has any questions/comments.
Oh, car had a little over 16k miles.
