    So this car actually belongs to one of my co-workers. He picked it up a few months ago from an old lady who really only used it to go to the grocery store. When he bought the car from her it only had 5000 miles on it! Currently it has just over 8000. Overall the car was in great shape but you can tell it was not washed often as there was baked on bugs, tar, and rust blooms.

    Process:

    Wash - Rinse with PW, foamed with CGCW/OPC and let dwell, rinse and wash with CGCW. Bugs sprayed with OPC a second time to help soften them up
    Decon - IronX followed by TarX
    Wheels - Sonax Full Effect and various brushes
    Tires - OPC, dressed with Hyper Dressing at 3:1
    Bonded contaminant removal - Speedy Prep towel and Glide as lube (Awesome)
    Paint correction - Sonax Perfect Finish via DA with tangerine LC pads
    Wheels lightly polished with Optimum Hyper Polish and tangerine LC pad
    Chrome tips - Meguiar's all metal polish
    Glass - D120
    Coating prep - Wash with ONR and thorough wipe down with CarPro Eraser
    Coating - Optimum Opti-Guard, applied to all paint, trim, and wheels

    It was hard to capture IronX doing it's thing but all panels were showing heavy signs of iron on the paint.
