Thanks for looking!
 
Merlin, what products did you use in the correction process?

Swirls etc. were minor. (If I remember correctly I used M205 for correction)
Polishing was done with Reflect and Essence and Carpro white gloss pads
This body style is loaded with small curves. I used the Rupes iBrid nano.
 
Very nice! and thanks for listing the products used.:cool: I do have a question on Reflect.......what is the difference between it and Essence and what scenario would require both to be used or one and not the other?

In my case, i'll be applying CQUK 3.0 in the next couple of weeks. The paint is almost swirl free so I feel that no correction is needed or very little, only polishing, which I plan on using Essence. Would there be any benefit to using both Reflect and Essence or just Essence? It's hard Chevy paint.

IIRC Reflect is strictly a polish. (no additives) In certian small areas I felt Essence could possibly be an issue. Why you ask?

Essence has "additional" products in the formula. I prefer the way Essence "looks" but in certain situations, it can be finicky.
Interestingly enough, IIRC Essence has Reflect in its formula. I have had a few situations where Essence would glob on the paint.
I call 'em "gummy bears". This is easily removed with IPA but the IPA also strips the "additional" products that are in Essence.

So if the temperature is just right and I use very little product then IMHO Essence produces a better "look" and nicer finish.
Also, IIRC you need to wipe the paint surface with Eraser when using Reflect. This is not necessary when you are using Essence.
I may not be 100% on this info so if those "in the know" correct me or feel free to enlighten me I am always happy to learn.
