Alright, this is the third car I've attacked with a PC, and I think it came out worlds better. You can still see some imperfection, I just couldn't get some of it out, even with the M105.
Biggest focus here is the front passenger fender, it was white from oxidization and crazy scratches. Most of the roof was the same way.
Anyhow:
Wash - Megs car soap
Clay - soapy water and obsessive detail claybar
Compound - The Optimum hyper spray compound would not cut the fender, after multiple passes I almost gave up. However, I remembered a local auto parts store that sold M105, and from the videos I watched online, that's supposed to be the heaviest cutting compound you can get. Making a note - it dusts like crazy! It really helped get the job done. I compounded the whole front of the car and roof with M105, then followed up with the optimum spray.
Polish - Optimum Spray Polish - this is great stuff, easy to work with and seems to have tons of working time.
Glaze - Obsessive Details glaze
Sealant - jetseal 109
Wax - Chemical Guys 50/50
Anyhow - pics:
The fender in question
Fender
Swirls
We put the factory hood back on, the initial faded one is just a primed cobra one, sorry for the deception ha
This is either roof or trunk
After compound and polish, no glaze yet.
In the sun: you can see that whole fender didn't come out perfect, the edges refused to comply, but I gave it my all.
Still some mild impurity in the paint, too deep for compound.
Mild stuff that would not come out. This is the trunk
Zoomed in too far on the rolling shot ;p
Anyways, that's what I've got ha!
