    This awesome car was booked in for a basic detail and the owner was kind enough to drive 2 hours to me.

    The car has alot of engine work done and I just realized that I forgot to take pictures of it. I believe 420HP at the wheel right now.

    Anyway, as I mentioned, this wasn't supposed to be a paint correction detail but the hood was full of scratches. I took some readings and as I suspected, the paint was very thin. Upper 70s and lower 80s with some areas as high as 95mills. Being very careful, slowly those scratches were removed. Didn't take pictures during due to time and my battery died in the camera as well.

    Process

    HD UNO wool pad (scratch removal)
    HD UNO HD orange pad
    MENZERNA 85RD blue pad
    HD POXY
    Pinnacle Signature Series II Wax
    BM Tire Gel - tires and trim
    SSR3 - Exhaust Tips

    SSII??? What is that? LOL

    Thank you very much guys for your kind replies. THe owner called me yesterday to tell me how happy he was with the outcome - even though it was raining all the way back to the Seattle area. The car still looked clean and he loved how the water was sheeting off the car.

    Great work Thomas! Are the HD products your favorite compound/polish combo now? :)
