I got a call from a member on this board and this is the car that showed up.
Due to the heatwave out here I had to work on it 3 nights in a row. The paint was quite bad.
Swirls, Light scratches, paint imperfections/acid rain etching (which was not fully removed)
This was quite a challenge. BTW extremely nice husband and wife and both were car enthusiasts, that's always a plus.

Products used:
Optimum Power clean (to strip the wax etc)

Uber Clay Bar with Optimum Instant Detail Spray and Gloss Enhancer
Menzerna Power Gloss Compound - yellow ccs pad and wool pad
Menzerna SIP - orange ccs pad
Menzerna 106FA -green ccs pad
Menzerna PO85RD - white ccs pad
Menzerna Top Inspection
Einszett Glanz

Wheels and Tires
Swissvax Pneu
P21S Wheel Cleaner Gel

Great job, you do fantastic work. Gotta love the pine needles, I am amazed at how many cars accumulate leaves and such and the owners just leave them there.

I'm the owner. All i can say is it was well worth the trip from Conn.
Since Phil worked his magic the cars paint will be much easier to maintain. Fine work.
