So, this car didn't have awful swirls, and he wanted a one step polish.

Here's what I came up with as possible options for a one step...
SIP with Orange - yes this might be crazy but if his swirls are nasty, I'd opt for this to get rid of the majority of swirls

SIP with Green - This finishes better but i had to decide if it'd have enough bite

106FF with Green - This one has decent cut, but is a challenge to finish

106FF with White - This is probably a popular option for good reason. It's great for things with very light swirls!

I ended up picking 106FF with green because of the level of swirls that I saw. Finishing with it took a few more passes at 900 RPM, but it was well worth it! Also because I had just gotten a green pad to try out and I like it a lot!

Dumb 1000w husky work lights broke on me so I was using a 250 one that has no tripod. Terrible!

So how about the car? It was obviously babied! I took one piece of clay bar and hit everything with it. Scroll down and there's a picture of what one side looked like when I was done. I was pretty amazed! Everything was very clean about this car except the swirls which black cars are cursed with. :laugh:

What I did to wash the wheels and tires first was soak them in P21S wheel gel, but that dried up pretty quickly. So as I was letting it soak, I'd mist it with water now and then, but after a while, I felt there wasn't enough product in there anymore. By that time, it had degreased enough that I could just wash the rest with CG CWG. P21S total auto wash was for the tires. I feel it does a better job degreasing later for tire shine.

that is a really long write up... here's the pictures





Go wheel gel!



clean clay!







After polish, I realized this car had some awful orange peel...





I got bored.





Engine bay wasn't very dirty to begin with, so I cheated.. kind of.



All that, and I'm still not done with my collection!
