Question about removing steps before applying graphene ceramic coating

[bosco1]

Hey guys have a question about possibly removing a step or two before applying GCC. My good friend brought his wife brand new 2022 Lexus ES350 with 525 miles on it over and wanted me to ceramic coat it. 

I did a 2 bucket wash then iron remover on it, this paint is slick!!! I don't believe it needs claying ( plastic baggy glided easily) or polishing before coating. Thought about doing the One Step pad and polish/ surface prep/GCC if a polishing step is better before coating. Would another pad and polish be better if any???

Thank you for your help in advance

There is no way to know.  The best thing you could do is a test spot and determine what type of finish you would consider is good enough to move onto the coating.

Agreed with @The Guz, do a test spot to see what gives the best results for that car.
