OCKlasse Detailed: Mercedes C230 Coupé
It first seemed to be not "too bad" in the swirl department. Boy was I wrong! I tried PO203S with a orange pad and the swirls just laughed at it. I then tried Power Finish again with Purple Foamed Wool. Still not enough to tackle them! Finally I busted out Meguiar's M105 compound with a Lake Country orange pad and voilà. I'm sorry for the lack of pictures but this detail turned into a much more intensive operation than I had originally planned it to be.
