This is my own car that I purchased a year ago. The car has 15k miles on the clock. According to the previous owner, the car was only waxed regularly but never professionally detailed.
The car had a lot of light swirls and some scratches here and there. Plus there are a few odd marks like bird droppings that weren't removed promply. There are a couple of fingerprint-look marks on the paint that won't go away without polish.
The tools and products used:
Good ole PC
Lake Country orange, white, and black pads
Prima Swirl, Amigo, and Epic
Black Wow for the black trims.
Meguiar's white clay
Meguiar's Endurance Tire Gel
Meguiar's Hot Rims Mag and Aluminum Polish for the exhaust tips
Laitner Power Brush for the back of the wheels
Started it with good claying:
Odd fingerprint mark on the A-pillar:
Swirls:
Trunk lid after passes of Orange/Prima Swirl, White/Swirl, and White/Amigo:
Trunk lid after Prima Epic:
Comparison shots of the trunk lid before Epic....
... and after:
50/50 shot of the left quarter panel:
These are the outdoor "after" pics, taken on 6/21 at around 3:30 PM. It was 118F and very humid.
Roof:
No more swirl:
