Heya. Thought I would post up some of the C&B's I had kickin' around. No particular order, just cars I've polished in the last 12 days.
Lamborghini Gallardo, only 700km, dealer prep'd it rather poorly. The owner is sending it off to FLA in the winter for a twin turbo setup, anyway the paint was pretty soft. I hit it with 106ff/white pad @ 1200 rpm to take care of some of the dealer marring. Followed with Clearkote RMG then Souveran.
Same owner, Ford GT with ~7k km on it, he drives it quite a bit (thumbsup, I know), it's putting down ~750rwhp. I actually polished it and waxed it last week, so just a wash this time but took pics. Last week we ended late so it was dark. Process last week was HTHC/orange @ 1600, 106FF/white @ 1300, HD Cleanse and Zymol Concours. The paint on the car is beautiful; very clear and easy to work with.
Another one, SL55 AMG, this one had some light marring so #80/white @ 1400, Prime then AJT.
I actually washed three more cars that day (long day), all of these just got OCW as a topper.
Next; E55 AMG. I polished this car last year quite heavily, this time all it needed was some 106ff/white @ 1400 then Souveran. It hadn't been washed at all through winter, so very light marring but a lot of built up dirt.

after:
Ferrari Maranello; I polished this one rather heavily last year. This illustrates what frequent improper washing will do. I had it 99% perfect last year and this is what greeted me this year.
Process was HTHC/white @ 1500, 106ff/white @ 1200, Z5pro.
Sorry, no outside afters.
Lots more to come...
