Nice! Love the reflection shots of the clouds.

Thanks!  Did not get as many detailed photos as I wanted but was very happy overall with the outcome.  The customer was extremely happy with the paint afterwards and loves the 22ple coating.

How did you like using S3 on the ceramiclear?

I used the S3 on the hood, roof, and decklid.  Did not use it anywhere else on the car as the deepest scratches/swirls were on those surfaces.  I bought a kit from Esoteric Car Care last summer that had S3, Sonax Perfect Finish, and the Rupes buffer all in one.  I had a choice between using S3 and Meg 105. 


 


My overall thoughts about S3 in general is that it's a great product, can get rid of a lot of defects.  Especially with the Rupes.  But I have been using the PC7424XP with Meg 105/205 for a long time.  So upgrading to the Rupes was a big upgrade for me.  It's crazy how capable this machine is.  Would there be any reason to NOT use S3 on a ceramiclear?

I personally hate working on ceramiclear paints so I was just curious how S3 stood up to it. If you're going from a PC to the Rupes, then regardless you're going to be blown away.

Totally!  The overall correction process of the vehicle was pretty straight forward.  This car was not in what I would call "bad shape" but definitely had it's defects.
