2005 Volkswagen New Beetle. Decent shape, only a year old, light to moderate spider swirls. Especially fun on a day that hit 102, not a cloud in the sky and no shade at this medical complex. Perfect for buffing!
Started off with Optimum Compound using a white LC polishing pad. The hood and trunk lid took several passes, VW paint is about as hard as Audi paint it appears. I then used Clearkote's Vanilla Moose, again using a white LC polishing pad and sealed with Poorboy's EX w/carnauba.
I am really pleased, especially given the temperatures and lack of shade that the Beetle polished out pretty well. Not 100%, but probably 97%.
=============
2005 Ford GT. He's had it a couple months, put less than 1000 miles on it. Says he's had it over 140 mph just merging on to the freeway.
The engine was pretty clean, just gave it a once over with Clearkote's Quikshine.
The paint was excellent, about the lowest level of orange peel I can recall seeing on a Ford ever. Just one small scuff I had to buff out with Optimum Polish and a white LC polishing pad, then went over the whole car with Jeff's Werkstatt's Prime with a blue Propel polishing pad and Acrylic Jett by hand.
Wasn't sure if it would start raining while I was working on it, so he left it inside while he ran so errands and I took a few indoor shots.
This one shows how wet, clear and glossy the JW twins are on white:
