Ok so I have another Marauder here. Mike (the client) was referred to me by Steve the owner of the Black Marauder I did last week.

This Marauder was red with some minor swirling and just normal wear and tear of life. Upon inspection the top surfaces were in much rougher shape than the sides due to water etching so I decided to go with a 2 step on the top surfaces and a 1 step was sufficient for the sides.

Products:
Flex 3401
D300 w/ MF cutting disc (Hood)
Uber Orange w/ Gtechniq P1 (Top of trunk and roof)
Uber Green w/ Menz 203 (Whole Car)
Seal w/ Blackfire Wet Diamond
Wax w/ Nattys Red

My process was:
Wash and foam with OPC
Wash with a mix of Dawn and Car wash soap
Dry with Guzzler and Leaf Blower
Polish paint (See above)
Dress tires with DP

On to the Pics

Nice work on that paint. Looks like you achieved 100% correction from those pictures.

Im sure this won't be your last Marauder after the work you have performed on these past two.

Thank you. She really turned out nice. I hope I do get some more marauders in.

Ya he was excited to see the car. He takes care of it well so now he gets a clean slate.

Thanks Mike! Im glad you liked it. Just give me a call when you are ready for the DD and we will get her all taken care of. Thanks for joining AGO

Thank you! P1 was nice to work with. Long working times, low dust if any at all, and finishes pretty well. The cut isnt and high as I was expecting but it performed very well. I would put the cut right around SIP maybe. This was my first time using it so I am anxious to try it out more. The 100ml bottle is pretty small though so I may have to order more.

I see you used the Flex 3401 with D300 on MF cutting disks. What speed did you use to achieve that? I used speed 4 on a Mercedes with hard paint and the cut and finish was pretty good. Excellent work by the way!
