They come back to me in about 4 hours and the black paint looks like glass. No swirls, looks like it came off the showroom floor. What are you doing that you have 10 hours into it and have another 10-15 hours to go? Honestly just curious.

1. Wash (car, wheels, calipers, tires)
2. Clay Bar (car wheels, calipers)
3. tape off rubber and plastic trim
4. Cutting compound (i am in this process right now)
5. Bring car out into sun. Mark any missed scratches/swirls
6. re-cut over missed/deeper scratches
7. Polishing compound
8. alcohol prep for PPF
9. apply PPF
10. alcohol prep for ceramic
11. apply ceramic
12. finish up with ceramic reload spray
Keep in mind I work full time so I'm having to do this in small hour and a half to two hour sessions so each time I have to prepare my tools, make sure the surface didn't collect any large particulates and clean up each time.
