Quick detail job (another subaru) Subaru Baja, you either like it or hate it... LOL
Anyways this one I think has close to 90k miles, it was in slightly above avg condition.
NO CORRECTION on this one.
Wash, clay, interior, seal, wax, dress, etc...
Took me and my partner just over 4hrs.
I did run some light correction over the lower corner/rocker panels and front bumper to speed up the cleaning process (rail rot/tar) after claying, and I touched up the headlights, otherwise no correction or polish.
In general after an IPA wipedown, Prima Amigo was applied kinda as a poly based cleaner/filler, then Menzerrna power lock, then prima banagloss. Only the last step was by hand.
Headlight before
Headlight after (med cut pad and med cut compound, quick pass)
Sample of correction spot (just show em' what he's missing, for next time)
After a single pass correction

Very good, the sun light really shows the "Pop" in the product. I finally got to use my Makita Rotary Buffer on a Formula Hatch (Light Pewter Met.) and I got some severe swirls and scratches out of it.
I might cut my Buick this week as it needs it, and I want to do it before the winter.

Having more ***** is the key. What i have learned from the rotary, that you need no more then 1500 RPMs when compounding, even with a heavy cut pad like Meg 105. Its about arm speed and pressure and allowing the product to do it's job.
I was finding out people were moving their arm too fast and basically skimming the surface which lead to having make more passes then needed.

Not quite sure about going mobile that far. Don is having a hard enough time getting me to his place.
