So while I was in working on couple of Z06 Vettes, they snagged me and asked if I could give a black focus a quick cleanup too. Not the kind of thing I typically do, but I was ahead of schedule and that would put me in HEAVY traffic all the way home (read: 2+ hrs). So I decided to avoid traffic and pick up a few extra bucks.
But I couldn't spend the usual time on it. Typical combos were just NOT working on this super hard and super abused clear. Likely hundreds of scratch o' matic tunnel washes had severely marred the finish. M105 and orange surprisingly didn't yield great results. As did several other usual combos. What ended up working quite well was PO203 and LC green. LSP was OCW for this. Again this was a VERY short correction and was intened only to improve the finish. There were remaining swirls and a LOT of RIDS, but thats all there was time for...
Finished pics
Then they asked for a quick headlight restoration on this Acura. Then I was ready to go home. But alas, it was not to be. They were so happy, they insisted I do more. Oh boy...
Headlight resto...
After doing the headlights they asked if I could polish the rest of the car...(oh boy...) I only had about 90 min so I had to move really fast. I had no time to look for the absolute best combo, so I went with the faithful LC orange and M205. It worked nicely. LSP was OCW. Some how I managed to get pics along the way.
Well if you actually made it through to the end, I applaud you. Pretty boring cars, but they cleaned up well at least. It was a crazy hectic 3 hours, but since the cars were already clean it helped greatly. However not something I'll likely do again!
