Another NBP TSX Polished

This t s x club member came all the way down from San Diego today (a good 2 hours drive from where I live).
His car was........ really really bad? I couldn't find a word that can describe it, so I'll let the pictures do the talking:
Oh Keep in the mind whole car was like this (I only took pictures of the hood, fender, and door)
Before:

















Some after shots with TRiCC himself as the "model" (sorry guys, we tried to talk his cute gf into modeling with his car, but I think she's shy lol)



































It honestly could have used some good old rotary loving from my Makita, but he told me the previous owner had this car detailed......... 3 times by some hack detailer! I didn't feel all that comfortable taking a rotary to it. So I turned to my trusty DA lol.
It honestly could have been better, but I had to take in consideration that he still needs to drive at least 2 hours back (without traffic it's a 2 hours drive, up to 4 in traffic)
If I had more time I would have buff the whole car again with a less aggressive combo, but time wasn't on my side.
I started @ 8AM this morning, wrapped it up by 2PM.

Materials used:
1 bucket with grit guard + ONR wash (pre-soaked in ONR solution)
Dried with Cobra waffle weave towels.
No clay bar was necessary here (paint was actually pretty damn smooth lol)
Single stage polish with Prima Swirl.
Griot Garage 6 inch ROP, LC 6.5 inch orange CCS pads. Griot's Garage 3 inch ROP with 3 inch orange pads.
IPA wipe down.
LSP is my trusty Menzerna powerlock!

Thank you! It means a lot when it comes from other capable detailers like you and Jesstzn! Feels like I've been "approved" by others more experienced than me lol.
