I had the pleasure to work on this beast today. A new client contacted me yesterday to dial in his GT350. It was not in the best shape when he picked it up from the factory. He wanted the paint at a level 10. By his reaction when I was done, I think the paint was at a level 11!

Products used:
-McKee’s 37 N-914 (Waterless Wash Ratio) to clean exterior
-Meguiar’s M205 with Meguiar’s MF cutting disc to polish the beautiful black paint
-HD Speed to clear up any slight hazing left behind with the cutting disc
-Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish for the exhaust tips
-Meguiar’s Wheel Brightener to clean nasty brake dust in the wheel barrels and on the calipers
-Meguiar’s Super Degreaser to clean the tires
-Chemical Guys VRP for the tires
-McKee’s 37 Rinse Free Wash and Wax (Spray Wax Ratio) for final wipe down

Sorry I don’t have any great pictures to show the before and after. I was in a hurry the whole time. Just wanted to share what I was working on today.

That's quite interesting; a combo like that would never occur to my apparently narrow minded brain.

Well done.

I wanted some extra bite without stepping up to Meguiar’s D300. Clear coat is precious.

Reading your posts, I'm quite sure that your brain is anything but narrow, Budget.
 
Nice job man. I like your garage setup too. What lighting do you have. It looks very bright in there.

Thanks! I was actually on location for this one, it is my clients garage. Once I start to build my dream garage, I am definitely modeling it after his. I’m not sure what kind of lighting it was. If I had to guess, fluorescent tube lighting.
 
Great job. That's quite the car. How did you handle the stripes?

I polished the red stripes. Every now and then, I would go too far and go over the red and onto the carbon fiber stripe. It wiped off nice though. I should’ve taped those parts off but like I said I was in a hurry to get the job done. I used the Spray Wax to protect the carbon fiber portion.
