LC Yellow Foam & WG Uber working but...

[LSNAutoDetailing]

Don't make assumptions based upon a car. You never know if a panel has been repainted unless you use a PTG or can visually see it.
I just did a black Mustang GT and used various BOSS pads from Orange to MF because I found out the hood and rear left qtr panel had been repainted.

Always do a test spot, that will help you dial in the proper combination. You may notice that using an MF pad will reduce or eliminate defects quicker, but you may also find (as in the most recent show-n-shine, corvette detail) that the MF left a haze, and you will still have to polish after.

Sometimes a shortcut really isn't. A tried and true systematic approach/workflow is always the best approach.

How true...got a Subaru, very soft paint, swirls if ya look at it wrong. Vette, harder paint. Kept doing test spots of bad area until I found what worked. Upside is I now have a variety of polishes, compounds and pads. Doing WG Swirl Remover, then Finishing Glaze, then Uber Ceramic after tackling the water spots so haze wouldn't have been a big deal. The D300 + Microfiber left the paint suprisingly haze, swirl free, likely coulda skipped Swirl remover but in for a penny, in for a pound. Vette paint looks amazing for 12 year old, mostly daily driven car so I learned a lot and the results are certainly worth the effort.
