AP1 Silverstone Detail
This car had over 25 stains on it from tree sap. This is also the car with the paint failure spots. There were only 2-3 of these spots where the paint failed, I was able to get rid of most of the other spots, some are still there but very faint. As far as swirls or webbing, the owner had taken very good care of the clear coat so there weren't too many swirls to worry about.
Megs Gold Class
Foam Gun
Two Bucket Method
Amazing Roll Off (it's called Amazing for a reason...)
Sonus Clay Bar
Blackfire Scratch Resistant Clear Finishing Polish
Jeff's AJT on Wheels
Pinnacle Signature Series II Carnauba on clear coat
Lexol on seats
303
Woolite on the int

gotta say that i hope you got paid really well- you added tremendous value to that car-
must have been more than a full day on that one?
gonna reblack the wheel wells, or leave as is?
been awhile since i used the stuff, but it was something like this:

Nice job, but you do realize the wheel wells are SUPPOSED to have undercoating in them, right? I'd recommend reapplying the undercoating wanabe suggested.
Wetsanding is also a pretty aggressive step, but I'm sure it took care of those spots, no problem! how long did you spend, in total?
