This Vette has been used and abused!!! The owner bought it used and was going to pay to have it repainted. Someone referred him to me (the guy with the black Suburban if you remember) and I was hired to “do the best you can.” He’s no longer planning on repainting it. 
The clear was SUPER hard and was marred pretty seriously. There were also areas of repaints that much softer.
After a few test combos were performed, the final process that I used was:
Wash
Clay with Meguiars aggressive clay
Meguiars #84 via rotary polisher @1750 RPM’s with a wool cutting pad
Meguiars #84 via rotary polisher @150 RPM’s with a meguiars polishing pad
Meguiars #83 via rotary polisher @1500 RPM’s with a meguiars polishing pad
Meguiars #80 via PC @5.5 with a meguiars polishing pad
Meguiars Medallion premium paint protectant via PC and a Meguiars finishing pad
Windows cleaned with NXT GC and a WW MF.
Tires dressed with Meguiars Hyper dressing 1:1
Interior was very clean. I just vac’ed, “degreased” with Costco APC 10:1
Total time 6 hours.

After:
The engine was degreased with “MAGNUM” then dressed with Eagle One Pro Water Based dressing (1:1)
I covered the ECU with clear plastic and electrical tape.
