    My family was headed to the beach this week but i stay behind because i like having the house to myself. Anyways i havent done any paint correction to this car in 2 years and the car is a typical daily driver covered in scratches and small dents so rather then going for a full out correction i tackled the car with Megs 205 w/ a orange LC pad and topped it with 845 via PC w/ LC red pad. So lets get on with the pictures. The car was dirty.
    Chemicals:
    CG Citrus Wash and Clear
    Stoners invisiable Glass (aerosol)
    Sonax Wheel Cleaner
    Meguiars 205
    Megs General Purpose Cleaner
    Colinite 845
    Tools:
    2 buckets with grit gaurds
    Sponge
    Chamois(there broken in and absorbe so much water. I do rinse them thoroughly after every use)
    Flex XC VRG Dual Action
    6.5" Orange LC foam pads
    Assorted mircrofibers

    I started with the wheels and go to use my favorite wheel cleaner (sonax wheel cleaner). I sprayed it on and let it dwell untill the green solution turned green(my favorite thing about it).

    Next i soaked the car in a nice layer of Foam via Glimour Foammaster foam gun. I used CG Citrus wash and Clear. i filled the canister up about 1/6 of the way with soap so it allowed for a HUGE amount of foam. Then i washed the car (2 bucket method w/ grit gaurds) again using CG Citrus wash and clear

    Then i pulled the car in the garage and went to town on the paint with Megs 205 and a orange LC pad via Flex 3401 VRG D/A.

    I didnt take that many progess pics because i was sweating my butt off and it was my only day off that week (The previous Sunday). So heres the after pics after 845 was applied via PC w/ LC Red pad. As far as correction id have to say the paint was 50-60% corrected but the paint does have great depth now.

    I also applied wheel wax to all the wheels. Only product i have experienced thus far is my DP wheel Glaze which i really like alot.

    Now time for the sun pictures. This is when i like black the most.
