Justin and I did this one last weekend. The owner was on a tight budget so we chose to go with a 1-step correction that yielded more defect remove vs. optimal gloss...though D300 did finish down very well on this hard clear.
Process:
Wash - Foam bath mixed with CGCW and OPC mixture followed by a wash with CGCW.
Wheels - Sonax FE and various brushes.
Tires - OPC, dressed with Megs Hyper Dressing
Decon - IronX and TarX
Clay - Blackfire Clay with M34 as lube
Paint correction - D300 on the GG6 with Megs MF cutting pads (2 passes in several areas)
Glass - Megs D120
LSP - Blackfire Wet-Diamond
IronX doing it's thing...

After the decon was all done the paint really came back to life again...it's amazing how much contaminated paint can effect the look of the paint on a car.
