This was just an exterior detail

It was already washed, I just had to rewash the rims.

The paint was not pretty. Massive spiderwebbing and deep water etching. And talk about dull paint.

The Gameplan
I chose to use 3m extra cut a wool pad and the DeWalt. The front end was repainted at one point. So the hood was kind of shot. Some of the etching remained, I was not going to ruin the paint. And try and make it look brand new.
Then went with the PC and a org. LC pad and Menz SIP w/OP to get rid of the haze from 3m. Finally with the UDM and a CCS white pad to bring back the shine. 106FF and some OP made it blinging black again. Then Liq. Souveran coated the black coupe.

The back window needed a little DP Plex-All
Can you tell what side was cleaned with Plex-All

Looks great! I always wondered how to restore those flexible plastic rear windows in convertibles - you see so many that are yellowed and cloudy.
 
Very nice detail, really like the way it turned out. Oh and I agree the rear plastic window looks really very nice....never knew about that product and how well it works.

Thank you for sharing, vehicle looks great.
