    This car belongs to a good client of mine and which was purchased used last year by his father. They were looking to bring the paint back to life and give it some long term protection. As you can see from the pictures there was a good amount of swirls and a few RIDS that needed to be taken care of.


    Process:

    Wash - Megs Hyper Wash, 2BM, Lambs wool mit
    Tires - OPC and Tuf-Shine brush, Hyper Dressing 3:1
    Wheels - Sonax FE with various brushes and wash mit, Wheels removed and both faces and barrels were coated with Opti-Coat Pro
    Surface prep - Speedy prep towel, Glide for lube
    Decon - IronX and Tarminator
    Paint correction - HD Adapt beta polish on the Rupes 21 with Megs MF polishing pads followed by HD Polish with yellow Rupes pads.
    Coating Prep - Eraser and IPA wipe down
    Glass - Clayed, polished with Hyper Polish, IPA wipe down coated with Opti-Glass Pro
    Coating - Applied with CarPro micro suede and foam block applicator

    Good job, I really like the polished exhaust.
    Does the HD adapt have more cut than the HD polish?

    Thanks!

    Yes, Adapt has more cut the HD Polish. I'm still testing it but I would put the cut around D300, maybe a hair more, based on what I've seen with the few cars I've used it on. Zero dusting with the MF pads! :)
