I had completed a winter prep last fall on this car and while talking to the owner he had mentioned there was scratch on the rear quarter panel that he wanted me to look at and fix if I could. Scratch was easily removed and I decided to fix up the entire panel as the paint was a swirled mess. Needless to say once the owner saw the finished panel he wanted the remainder of the car to match. We had decided he would be my first full detail of the season. We decided on a 2 step process.
Wash-
Honeydew CC soap
LATA on the tires
1Z on the rims.
Paint-
Flex 3401
Step 1
Scholl's S3
Tuff Buff black wool pads
Step 2
Menzerna SF4500
LC Hydrotech crimson foam pad
Eraser
Collinite 925 as the LSP
General condition of the car. Entire car was a swirled mess, paint was one of the softest and stickiest paints I've ever worked with.

It rained the entire day and I wasn't able to capture some outdoor shots however the owner sent me a few the next day, he was more than pleased with the final results. His pics
