So I had mentioned before in another thread, my wife and I are going to Vegas with another married couple and they set up the stay at one of their time shares so I told them I would detail their newish car as a thanks. The paint was really hammered and had some RIDs that I could not get out on a one step but I did the best I could with what I had in the time frame I told them. Actually I am lucky they were fine with me working on it longer than I had originally told them. I'm bummed that I finished as the sun was setting so I couldn't many good after shots and I was running pretty late so just snapped a couple.
Car: 2012 Chevy Cruze

Foamed: Megs Gold Class + Megs D101

Two Bucket wash: Megs Gold Class

A little closer shot
This paint was really hard so I tried to be aggressive with the pad and light with the polish. Test spot shown with HD Polish on LC Foamed Thin Wool. I did do a test spot with an LC White pad and HD Uno but a little hazy and HD Polish on LC White and not enough correction. No photos of those. Some minor DA marks not really showing up on the cell phone camera but would have had to do a 2 step to get them out and they weren't very noticeable so I let it go with them. I did however 2-step some smaller areas using a B&S 3" Yellow with HD UNO to cut and B&S 3" Blue with CarPro Reflect.
50/50
Corrected
Front Passenger fender before, passenger door after
Then
Wiped down with eraser
Foamed and rinsed again
Two Bucket wash
and finished it off with CarPro Hydro2
After shots before tire and plastic dressing with PB Natural Look on Tuff Shine Orange Pro Series Applicators
I feel like that was a really scattered write-up but was trying to rush. Thanks for looking!
