Here is my new daily driver I bought in August. 2003 Bonneville SLE. I figure I spent close to 14 hours so far and have a couple more to go finishing up the interior. I'm not totally happy with the results, there are still a lot of scratches. The car is probably 80-90% swirl free though, so hopefully I can remove more next spring. I still plan to put on another coat of wax, but had to get some pics since it was such a nice day.
Process:
Wash-Meg's Deep Crystal soap
Partial clay-Claymagic-Had a bad experience with this, see pic below.
OHC x2 via orange pad
OP via white pad
EX-P
Collinite 845
Meg's Hot Shine
Here are some before shots to show how swirled it was.
