    customer backed out after test spots were done.

    They are not doubting my work, they are doubting whether they want to keep the car or not (they just bought it and are having buyer's remorse)

    customer backed out after test spots were done.

    plenty of truth in this statement. i have yet to get ahold of the customer, i'd like to save the job, but was planning on hitting the vehicle with HD speed to atleast blend in my test spots and put some protection back onto the paint. i know i can do it quick enough to get it out and take on...

    Critique my plan of attack, please!

    iron x between #1 and #2 is a good idea, but not essential. #5 is important, sf4000 will leave quite a bit of "polishing oil" on the paint. i usually use IPA or Carpro Eraser. delete #6, WGDGPS 3.0 will adhere better and last longer when applied to bare paint.
