scratcher

I haven't posted a thread for a while, so here's a little one.
I was contacted by a main dealer through the Auto Finesse Detailer Network to see if I could help them fix some marks on a customers car.
The car was a week old, but on closer inspection, there were a few deep scratches dotted around.
Washed down, taken inside and spot clayed. There was no dealer 'protection' applied.
After claying the whole car was panel wiped to see what we had to deal with.

The boot lid had the worst of the marks. It took 2 hits to remove the damage.

The whole car could've done with a little more gloss, so Rejuvenate was applied via DA.
The paintwork was waxed using Spirit.
Glass cleaned with Crystal.
Tyres dressed with Meg's Endurance.
