This car belongs to a friend, that after seeing some of the cars I corrected, wanted her's done as well along with a very durable coating as it sits outside 24/7.
So I compounded with Megs MF and D300 then polished with Optimum Hyper Polish on LC Tangerine Hydro, then used Opti-Coat 2.0 on paint, glass (excluding windshield) and wheels.
Was shooting for 70% correction after looking over the vehicle before I started. Think I ended up with ~80%.
Process:
Cleaned wheels/wheel wells with DP Wheel Gel Cleaner
Cleaned tires with Amazing Roll-off
Went back over wheels with CarPro Trix
Pressure washed car
Sprayed down wheels and paint with CarPro Trix then rinsed
Used Pinnacle Bug sponge on front bumper
Removed dealership badge with heat gun, fishing line, CarPro Tar X & Pinnacle Bug sponge
Foamed with CG Red Citrus Wash
Washed with CG Red Citrus Wash using two bucket method w/grit guards and "bone" MF sponges
Dried with Cobra Guzzlers
Exhaust tips cleaned with 0000 steel wool and P21S
Clayed with Pinnacle clay and ONR as lube
Taped off car
Polished windows with DP Glass Restorer on LC White pad using Megs G110v2
Compounded with Megs MF and D300 & Megs G110v2
Polished with Optimum Hyper Polish and LC Tangerine Hydro pads & Megs G110v2
Compound and polish buffed off with Poorboy's World DMT microfibers
Wiped down with CarPro Eraser
Applied Opti-Coat 2.0 to paint, glass (not the windshield though) and wheels
Tires and wheels treated with Optimum Tire Shine
Plastic & Rubber trim treated with CarPro Perl
Door jambs cleaned with Optimum APC
Interior vacuumed and spot cleaned with Folex, hot water and wet-vac
Interior cleaned with DP Total Interior Cleaner
Interior protected with DP Interior Protectant
Glass cleaned with Invisible Glass
Car was very dirty and that dealer badge had to go:

Door after compounding with D300:

Car after compounding, D300 and Megs MF finished down very well on this paint:

Now that I've applied Opti-Coat numerous times, I've learned how to use it sparingly. Only used about 5 CC's to do the entire car:

All done:
Didn't know it had so much flake when I started:
