Customer kindly washed the vehicle for me beforehand so with the wash stage done I proceeded to clay the vehicle, the front end and bonnet was covered in blue specks of paint which easily removed with sonus green clay
Some of the defect 
PTG readings showed healthy depths all around averaging between 130-140 microns. 
Correction was done mainly with 3M FCP and 3m green compounding Pad. With the paint rock hard and the defects deep it required 2-3 hits. These before and after pics are after correction and yet to be refined
