-Strip wash paint followed by foam bath with chem guys maxi suds II
-Two bucket wash
-Mechanical decon with Nanoskin autoscrub on wet car with nanoskin glide
-Chemical decon with CarPro TRIX
-Rinse
-Masterblaster to dry

Correction:
-Pre-inspection with Gyeon prep
Only a couple of swirls, very few fine scratches or marring, and water etching
-Select spots treated with Griots BOSS FCC on Megs MF Cutting disc
-Rest of car corrected and polished with Megs D302 MF polish on MF finishing pad
-Rinse and dry

LSP:

Sad to see her go, but my replacement ride is a CPO Porsche Macan Turbo in jet black metallic with fair/good paint. That'll be my spring project with photos to come....
