Full paint correction on my CL-S
Well I just couldn't stand to look at the car anymore and made the plunge to drop a decent amount of money on a bunch of equipment/product. Actually starting a little detailing/paint correction business presently. Anyway this color (along with black) shows EVERYTHING, especially in the sun. I had TONS of drying scratches, swirls, scratches from when my father cleaned the snow off my car this past winter with a push broom, etc. Being how particular I am, it was horrible. But, after a 3 step polish and sealant (15 hrs), this is what it looks like. I will be having some professional pictures taken on Sunday for business purposes, but figured i'd show you guys how she looks on my subpar camera. More pictures to come though. Sorry for the overcast, wasn't the best day for pictures. Let me know what you fellas think! Car currently has 110k on it
Process: Wash with dawn, clay, wash again with dawn, Griots Garage DA on speed 6 for multiple passes of M105 w/ LC Orange Pad, M205 w/ LC White Pad on speed 6, Sealed using BlackFire Wet Diamond, IPA Wipedown, final wash with ONR

Nice up close reflection shot.
Looking at your steps, did you do the IPA wipedown AFTER the black fire wet diamond?? I believe the IPA removes some if not all of your LSP. The IPA should be done after your polish to make sure you have a clean surface for your LSP. Also, so you can remove any possible fillers and re-check your paint surface (before applying LSP) for any swirls/marring that could be left over.
