The LSP is not Opti Coat. First one in a very long time. Customer's concern was the driver's side. I went to look at the car before taking the job, because he said you can definitely feel the scratches. Upon inspection, I was pretty sure that I couldn't get those out. I promised to do the best I can.

Interior was done first, followed by cleaning the wheels and finally a citrus degreaser wash. The car was pulled inside, clayed, dried, and I started on the left front fender.

Followed by the front door, rear door and rear fender.

Overall, about 7-10 microns were removed. It turned out better than I thought it would, but it isn't perfect.

Process:

Interior: vacuum, 3D Citrus degreaser, steam, HD Protect, Eraser on windows

Exterior:

HD ADAPT, HD BLACK WOOL pad 2500 rpm (left side)

HD ADAPT orange foam
HD POLISH blue foam
HD POXY black foam
PEARL on tires

Finished at 11:00 pm

@ tdekany : How do you like those HD wool pads? I've been looking at them for a while but haven't pulled the trigger.

A few observations...
Pearl: Made the Rubber look good.
Eraser: An expensive (to me) auto-glass cleaner.

A curiosity...
HD products: Think AGO will ever carry them?
