Another long time client of mine. Did his Lexus a year ago and it had some hail damage from a storm this past year. Body shop complimented the finish on it saying they haven't seen a car look like that unless it was right out of paint and wetsanding. HA. So, he wanted me to take care of his newly acquired SS that hadn't been cared for properly by the previous owner.
Spent right at two days on this big girl. Corrected, polished, and Opticoated (pro version).
Exterior:
Chemical Guys Citrus Wash (twice) Once after polishing
Speedy Prep towel medium
Wheels/barrels were hit with CG Diablo wheel gel 1:5 & various brushes
Wheel wells and rubber were hit with APC 1:5 & various brushes

Wells treated with CG Bare Bones
M105 Meguiars MF polishing Disc w/Rupes 21 5" BP
M205 LC Black Foam w/Rupes 21 5" BP
Car Pro Eraser
Green Magic for exhaust/stainless

You can see here in this corrected pic that the hood has some deeeeeeeeep etching from bird bombs. Had it been coated before, the coating would have taken the abuse, we could have polished it off, and reapplied with the OEM clear coat perfectly fine underneath.
