Car belongs to a forum member, JohnnyH, vehicle was severely marred when it was delivered by the dealership "Detailer" using a buffer and wax on a brand new car. Beyond me as to why, but 8 hours of work later and she looks better than new.

The pictures are staged in order with how the car arrived, then after wash and clay, and After double polish and insulator wax

Process:
Wash/Clay using meguiars and Hydrogloss
Buffed with Ardex SealB
Polished with Deep Crystal
Sealed with Collinites Insulator wax NO. 845
Wheels and exhaust done with New Wave

The different angles are to try and get the most sunlight in the reflection, but as you can tell I gradually lost it as the day went on.
Rear Side angle

Pre Polish, note the spiderwebbing in the sun light

Post Polish, no webbing/rids

Rear Quarter

Hood

Spoiler

Wheel

Front angle

Side

Fender

This picture shows the difference from the front door and the back door, the front is polished, back isn't look at the light reflection to see the swirls/rids on the back door and notice there aren't any on the front door.
