Default Deep Blue Pearl GTR Paint Correction & Ceramic Coating

I performed a complete, 2-step correction on this deep blue pearl GTR and would like to share part of the process and end result with all of you.

This car had some marring on the hood and roof, probably from being washed at an automatic swirl machine, I mean car wash. The rest of the panels also had some minor swirling that needed some work on this hard clear coat. Here was the procedure for this car:
  1. Decontamination wash with Obsessed Garage car shampoo through an MTM foam canon, pressurized by a Kranzle pump.
  2. Chemical decontamination with CarPro Iron-X remover
  3. Mechanical decontamination with Nano Autoscrub Fine grade sponge with Nano Glide as a lubrication agent
  4. Compound with Jescar Compound and a combination of Meguiars Cutting Microfiber pads and Rupes Cutting Wool pads all with a Rupes LHR15MKii, Rupes LHR75e, and Rupes Nano Long-Neck
  5. Finish polish with Sonax EX Profiline 04-06 and a Rupes Yellow pad with a Rupes LHR15MKii, Rupes LHR75e, and Rupes Nano Long-Neck
  6. Removed polish and oil residue with CarPro Eraser in preparation for Cquartz ceramic
  7. Applied CarPro Cquartz to the entire vehicle.
  8. Applied CarPro Reload to the entire vehicle.
I also removed the wheels and ceramic coated those as well. It will make washing the brake dust off a breeze now.

Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Is it just my screen or does that color has a hint of purple to it?

There is a hint of purple in that color. Mostly because of the pearl in it.
