Finished this one up this past weekend. Guy came to me wanting to fix his hood but it had severe clear coat failure. He got it painted and waited two months and brought it back to me since the shop didn't do a great job buffing it. (severe marring, wet sanding marks, and swirling) He also wanted to clear up the head lights before spending more money on some new ones. Turned out great and about 98% corrected. The hood was the worst out of all of it but it turned out alright.
-Washed with Meguiars Hyper wash.
-Clayed w/blue magic.
-Wheels/Tires/Lug cylinders/Inner barrels/Wheel wells hit with APC+ 10:1 and scrubbed with various brushes.
-Tires/trim dressed with ShowroomFX White Pearl.
-Paint was corrected with D300 and a 5" MF cutting disk followed by D301 on a 5" MF Polishing disk.
-B Pillar trim was done with a 3" MF cutting disk and D300 followed by M205 on a 3" polishing disk followed by D301 on a 3" polishing disk.
- Head lights were wet sanded using 2500 grit, then 3000 grit, followed with M105 on a 3" cutting disk > M205 on a 3" polishing disk >waxed using D301 on a 3" polishing disk.
-Glass treated with Stoners crystal clear

Questions/comments welcome.
I'd also like to say the MF system is truly amazing and I love using it each and every detail that I can. The results are amazing and the time savings is its own reward. I did however experience my first cutting pad failure. Velcro came apart from the pad. Not sure why as I was only using it on speed 4 and about half way through the correction process I always change pads to a fresh one. This one made it 6 cars.
