Car has 6 miles on it and sat in the showroom for a year before I bought it. The paint was in good shape but had a fair amount of fine scratches in the clear.

I tried using the Griots BOSS system. Different combinations of their pads and polishes but I was not getting the results I was after. It’s a great system, fast and virtually no dust but I find it not effective for moderate defects.

I ended up using Meguiars M105 and followed by Griots Correcting Cream. It’s my go to and I’ve found nothing to be as good.

Steps prior to polishing were Meguiars Professional Clay and Iron X.

Sorry I don’t have any before pictures.

That’s actually exactly what I did. Car had 10 miles before PPF yesterday. Had front bumper, mirrors, rocker panels and rear impact area done on quarters. I’ll have to swap to more street ready tires as the SC2s are too sticky for street use.

What a difference compared to my Terminators. Here are some shots early morning.
