Default It's not a Porsche....but it's RED!

Detailed this C5 a few days ago and was unable to take any pictures so the car owner sent these to me last night.

It had alot of halo-scratches all over the paint, mainly on the top surfaces, and many of them were pretty bad so I had to use Optimum Compound and an orange pad with my rotary to level the paint. This was then followed by two polishing steps, again with a rotary. This time though I used Optimum Polish and two different Opt. foam pads. Royal blue for medium polishing and white for the fine final polishing.

I then sealed the car with Optimum spray wax. Since Optimum wax contains polymers they need to cross link and after doing so, which is about 24 hours later, that paint takes on a much deeper, wetter look.

Here are a few pictures....
