Default Mazda RX8 I Cleaned

My aunt asked me if i would clean her Mazda RX8
Here's some before pictures







I started by giving it a good snowfoam





Then washed it using the 2bm then i dried the car and then clayed the whole car and then went over the whole car a coat of red moose glaze before giving it a coat of Dodo Juice blue velvet pro
Here's the finished pictures









Reflection shots

Think i,ve managed to fix it although it maybe reading only in NFE and not both FE and NFE. I,ll take another look and see. It can read on aluminimum and steel panels , it only can read the total depth and not individual layers.
You guesstimate with it in reality when it comes to knowing clearcoat levels.
Pm me when you may want to use it.
