Ok so I have another Marauder here. Mike (the client) was referred to me by Steve the owner of the Black Marauder I did last week.

This Marauder was red with some minor swirling and just normal wear and tear of life. Upon inspection the top surfaces were in much rougher shape than the sides due to water etching so I decided to go with a 2 step on the top surfaces and a 1 step was sufficient for the sides.

Products:
Flex 3401
D300 w/ MF cutting disc (Hood)
Uber Orange w/ Gtechniq P1 (Top of trunk and roof)
Uber Green w/ Menz 203 (Whole Car)
Seal w/ Blackfire Wet Diamond
Wax w/ Nattys Red

My process was:
Wash and foam with OPC
Wash with a mix of Dawn and Car wash soap
Dry with Guzzler and Leaf Blower
Polish paint (See above)
Dress tires with DP

On to the Pics

Thanks for looking! All questions, comments, and criticisms are welcome

That one really responded to your talents. Extraordinary look!
 
Nice work on that paint. Looks like you achieved 100% correction from those pictures.

Im sure this won't be your last Marauder after the work you have performed on these past two.
 
Man, that paint really looks like a nice color when its all cleaned up.
 
Jon,

It was a real pleasure doing business with you.

The car looks absolutely amazing!

My DD may very well be on your list in the near future.

Thank you. She really turned out nice. I hope I do get some more marauders in.

I bet the owner was more than happy

Ya he was excited to see the car. He takes care of it well so now he gets a clean slate.

I love the color on it. It really pops and catches your eye.

Man I love those cars.... nice work!

Thanks Shiny!

Thanks Mike! Im glad you liked it. Just give me a call when you are ready for the DD and we will get her all taken care of. Thanks for joining AGO

Thank you! P1 was nice to work with. Long working times, low dust if any at all, and finishes pretty well. The cut isnt and high as I was expecting but it performed very well. I would put the cut right around SIP maybe. This was my first time using it so I am anxious to try it out more. The 100ml bottle is pretty small though so I may have to order more.
 
I see you used the Flex 3401 with D300 on MF cutting disks. What speed did you use to achieve that? I used speed 4 on a Mercedes with hard paint and the cut and finish was pretty good. Excellent work by the way!

Didn't know that was possible.

Jon, top-notch work as always. Mike was one of the first I thought of who'd benefit from your work.

See you later this evening with the woman's SUV.

Looks great!! I've heard rumors that the "red" Marauders are slower than the black ones!

Thank you for the compliments and I have no idea as Im not that familiar with marauders but since I have a client with a black one and a client with a red one Im ok with not knowing and I can remain Switzerland (neutral) :xyxthumbs::laughing:
