2010 Chevy Camaro SS. About six months old, owner felt it was time to get it cleaned up and protected for summer. Overall it was in really good condition, mostly only light swirls. Since this wasn't going to be a full correction (although hopefully in the future), I went with my G110 using an orange 5.5" Erasure cutting pad and Optimum Hyper Polish. Really cleaned up the paint well, greatly reduced (and removed) the light spider swirls and added noticeable depth. The paint was then sealed with Optimum Opti-Seal followed by Optimum Car Wax.
BTW, that is my son in the 3rd picture. He has come back to Texas to work with me while deciding whether to go back to school or go into the service.

2010 Lexus LS460. Only a few months old, owner has been maintaining it with Zaino Z8 since he took delivery but wanted to get more protection on it for the summer. No swirls to speak of, so it was prepped using Zaino All in One with a 6.5" crimson Hydro-tech foam finishing pad. My son then applied and removed 2 coats of ZFX'ed Zaino Z5 while I followed up with a coat of Optimum Opti-Seal. Turned out to be a very wet looking combination.
No outside shots, not only do his live oaks drop sap, but the sunlight filtering through the leaves would have made for terrible pictures.
===============
2007 BMW 335 and Corvette Z06. Owner just picked up the 335 to use as a daily driver while his twin turbo Ford GT is in the shop (engine went bye-bye in a run after hitting 224 mph on the prior run at the Texas Mile in March) and since his 800 hp Z06 isn't really the best daily driver. Considering he bought the car at Car Max, it was in better shape than expected. The hood and rear bumper had been repainted but it was a lot less swirled than I expected. Contaminatants on the other hand...damn. Really took a lot of claying to get the paint smooth. Polished the same as the above Camaro, G110, orange Erasure and OHP. Sealed with Wolfgang Fuzion.
The Z06 was just a wash this time. Needs some correction but it is going to the shop next week for some transmission work (leaking clutch fluid) and a less radical cam. This was the first time my son has used the reformulated ONR (he has been using the original formula for a couple years) and was surprised how easy it was for him to wash a black car in the sun with it. He definitely noticed and appreciated the additional slickness it offers.
And of course, what better to finish with than this?
