Thank you!

That is very good to hear, I couldn't capture too many swirl pictures with my camera unfortunately. This orange was almost like working with white or silver very hard to catch with the eye. I did so many 50/50 shots and none were worth posting.

awesome car, great job and nice shots

Thank you :xyxthumbs:

These look alot better with the color-keyed whells with the polished lip; black wheels diminish the paint. Just my preference.

Nice job. Does Gloss It make a 3.5" backing plate? If they do, could you please pm me? TYIA.

Beautiful car. Even more beautiful after you got your hands on it...

I'm normally not a fan of black wheels as they remind me of cheap cars. But they fit well, but I wonder what silver would look like.

For a PC or rotary?

Here's a link to the PC version.

Gloss-it's EVO 3 Dual Action Backing Plate

I'm using this one, for my Flex rotary.

Beautiful car. Even more beautiful after you got your hands on it...

Much appreciated, thank you!

Man, that's clean!!! Nice work on removing the swirls. Beautiful car & even better after your work.:xyxthumbs:

 

[ICEMAN]

NICE JOB!!!

How long this job take you, using the polished you did...

Menzerna, when used properly, really does show you its TOP OF THE LINE!!!!!

The Lambo you just did... metallic paint

My 01 Mustang GT, same process... SIP & Nano Polish... non metallic paint

Hey Petrucci, how would you rate the uber towels you use? I was thinking of upgrading mine current cobras because i feel like the 70/30 blend is marking up the paint in some cases and even causes streaking

I've seen no reason to switch yet, it's always come through for me

But the paint work too roughly around 8 or 10 hours I believe. Very easy to correct compared to other clear coats.

Thanks again!

When you first use them they are great but after a few washes they start to pick up things. I've tried numerous methods on getting them back to their previous selves but it hasn't worked.

I'm in the process of looking for a better towel unfortunately
