So here we have a "Mom Taxi" that was scratchy and smelly. They parket it at the airport for a week and when they came back it had a sour milk smell.
So the Carpet extractor was a must and then she opted to get it polished.
So a full detail was on the menu.

Wash:
Meg's Shampoo Plus and Contamanates removed via Sir Speedy Prep Wash Mit as I washed. (saves so much time doing it this way)
Rims:
Meg's Wheel Brightener, power washer & Hyper Dressing 2:1 mix.

Paint Correction:
After a few trials I ended up with Meg's MF Cutting pad and D300. And after Meg's Thursday Night Open Garage I went with D301 Finishing wax to give it it's final shine.

Interior:
Carpet extractor with Meg's APC Plus as needed.
Croftgate Odor Remover.

I've seen finger nail scratches before but there must be a thousand here!

And here's the culprits of the scratches. Bikes and 8 little girls! As I was evaluating the car one of them was actually writing on the drivers door with a stick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't believe those scratches compounded out. And really can't believe it will probably all be redone inside and out in several months.
Good work nonetheless.

Excellent work! Good stuff man, looks like D300 wins again!

Looks great, you'll have a return customer with that job. Hopefully not as bad of condition.
 
D300/D301 best system for the money! I've used many times for some of my corrections and now this, wow! Great job.
 
Is that a shark? Let me guess, the kids found a rock and decided to "draw" on the side of the car.
 
At least you had soft Honda paint. I'll have to give D300 a try. Does D301 have any correction ability?
