Defects were all over and deep. Pictures shall talk.Full of swirls and watermark etching. Generous amount of random deep scratches too.<img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--9h_RfZRWbI/UaIJ5n4s5sI/AAAAAAAAB74/Br7QfZy8Fcs/s640/DSC03255.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />A closer look<img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6EXyCGvLYv8/UaIJ5itGWNI/AAAAAAAAB7w/KAt5jTTDpuk/s640/DSC03260.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The least aggressive method was tried. A light polish just wouldn't do the job.<img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kBYhyht1YDk/UaIJ516DDYI/AAAAAAAAB70/CAprkufiHuo/s640/DSC03262.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Moved a step up to compounding with purple foamed wool and M105. A 50/50 of before-after shot.<img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2NYctSHequc/UaIN7bbWIKI/AAAAAAAAB8Y/_mdLNr4X74Q/s640/DSC03264.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />A closer look. Better than the previous treatment. Swirls removed but deep watermarks are still plenty.<img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-o7blwxNFWZQ/UaIN64D-qBI/AAAAAAAAB8Q/nzKXwRFDQWA/s640/DSC03265.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />After a few tries, an effective treatment was formulated for this super hard paint. This is the result of 3 stages of wool pad on M105, followed up by polishing.<img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QYd1MCP739c/UaIOwKLlmSI/AAAAAAAAB8o/DTkl6oOZUzg/s640/DSC03286.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Moving on to the wheels. Big power resulted huge amount of brake dust generated.<img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d6Y4pTM0510/UaIPajEHCBI/AAAAAAAAB88/pMIl-p5ABec/s640/DSC03288.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Wheels were cleaned with Osren degreaser FX. Looks good as new. However, plenty of brakes dust and iron particles (unseen by the naked eye) are attached to the surface of the wheel.<img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-w6Q5zWFLOHI/UaIPaLx6YZI/AAAAAAAAB80/nej892awatU/s640/DSC03289.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />A quick treatment by Iron-X proves this. Tiny embedded iron particles and brake dust are dissolved away, leaving the wheel pure as new.<img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x_Zwj3vy9JQ/UaIPaWApvEI/AAAAAAAAB9A/q8PpyxuXKAw/s640/DSC03292.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Even the sunroof have generous watermarks.<img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mShSk0_6qqs/UaIPbs4ExqI/AAAAAAAAB9M/ya6otf76Ldw/s640/DSC03295.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />A closer look. Reflection is ruined by the watermarks<img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mtZdXpSgDLk/UaIPcZQWkKI/AAAAAAAAB9U/PiHTahK6Djc/s640/DSC03297.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />After removal of watermark<img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rWR0ibRQIEs/UaIPdN-mjgI/AAAAAAAAB9c/aQD29v7ie2c/s640/DSC03299.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Clarity restored. Unadulterated relfections<img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9TF7CtVb6ig/UaIPdw6PENI/AAAAAAAAB9k/lkCqHvLUezA/s640/DSC03313.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The whole car was given the same treatment. As the owner did not order coating, watermark and random deep scratches were not completely removed at some areas to prevent over-thinning the paint.As a finale, this sexy chick magnet is given a good coat of Autoglym High Definition wax for that HD finish.<img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-s0rnsbpPN5k/UaIRaMvc_4I/AAAAAAAAB-Y/mHOxmtbaPTo/s640/DSC03306.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The richness of the chili red colour is restored.<img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-s04HT2k30OY/UaISQIi0BOI/AAAAAAAAB-o/zmpSOVo4QjI/s640/DSC03308.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Red can be a high definition mirror too<img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vwHY2ckv4QI/UaIUWnWRflI/AAAAAAAAB_0/uxyOrht31Oc/s640/DSC03314.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Thank you...</blockquote>
