Stunning!!
How do you determine what products to use? Is there a process or do you just go with what feels good at the time. I know there products you use based on a color but what about everything else?

Great question!

Yes, there is a process I use. It is called a "test section".

If there is one thing I have learned over the years, it is that every vehicle's paint is different.
Interestingly enough, There can be a big difference between the same year, make, model, and color!

Doing a "test section" (and tweaking the pads/products) enables me to determine what this paint likes.
I have multiple pads and products on the shelf from all over the world. Sadly, there is no one-size-fits-all.

I always start with the least aggressive products and slowly work my way up to what the paint likes.
Sometimes a product you think would work does not work at all. So it's a process of testing different things to see what works best.

There is nothing worse than going all the way around a vehicle with product A and then having to do it over with product B.
This consumes a lot of time, effort, energy, and labor. Test first, see what works best, and then correct/polish once.

Unless it's something like really soft black Tesla paint, the color (most times) does not make a difference.
