    Hello again. This was my second correction, a Dodge Neon SRT-4 that belongs to a former co-worker. I performed a 3 step correction with the goal of 80% correction because it is an Auto-X car. Again, please excuse products used.

    Products used:
    Porter Cable 7424XP
    Meguiar's M105
    Meguiar's M205
    Menzerna PO85RD
    Lake Country 5.5" Cyan & Tangerine Hydro-Tech Pads
    Lake Country 5.5" grey CCS finishing pad
    Mixture of towels
    91% Isopropyl Alcohol

    LSP - WG DGPS 3.0 (x2 for even coverage) topped with Pinnacle Souveran paste.

    Moving on to the bumper. This is where the most work occurred. I worked to the safest level and best of my ability with a DA Polisher. I plan to pick up a rotary and also learn machine wet sanding, which would have helped a lot for the bumper!

    Some final shots. Some the owner provided because I finished at 3:00am and drove 3 hours home. Also keep in mind this was only my 2nd car.

    Great job, though, why should we excuse products used. If I were to get my car detailed I wouldn't want anything else really touching my car.
