The warm temps here are killing my desire to get out on the slopes for some ski time. Fully grey cloud cover over here on the westside.

Aye, here's hoping it is for good. I love a good renault, looks like a nice transformation on the paint too.

I just bought the dual bulb holder, was $14. I have a large stock pile of manfrotto light stands (way overkill for this), and have yet to make my way to Home Depot for bulbs... but I don't think you can go wrong with anything from amazon as long as its a dual bulb holder. I'm not sure what...

614 4 life? Just kidding I'm 440

568rwhp but what about stopping all that power? upgraded brakes?

Fuzion spray wax coming my way!

I use the foam gun and 2BM, I spray half of the car and let soak, then foam each panel prior to hitting it with the 2BM, then disconnect hose and rinse off panel. I've found that 1/2 a car is enough time to let the dwell action of the soap work, but not too much time as to have any risk of...

I ended up accepting the limitations of my current inventory.... and then running to AGO and buying more stuff :laughing:

That level of material removal is still beyond my comfort zone, I'm comfortable with modern polishes and not too worried about eating through all the clear with them, but cutting discs seem way more aggressive. This was on a 2011 GS Corvette which i've read has notoriously hard paint. cutting...

I only included the stuff that helped to guide me towards what I was doing wrong... in reality I tried about 5 or 6 different compounds, including Megs ultimate compound, XMT #2,#3 & #4, BOSS Correcting, Menzerna 3 in 1 I'm just curious as to the "cross contamination" of the pad from swapping...

Was working on removing some swirls the other day, and started with the least aggressive polish and pad I could, but was not getting the results I was looking for, so moved towards a more aggressive setup. I started with Lake Country White pad on PC7424XP with XMT #2 polish, when I wanted to...

How did you address the dealer "decal" located below the 4.2 Quattro? i assume you taped off the area but then did you hand polish over the sticker? or was the wash sufficient over that area? Looks awesome, quite the transformation.

Is there something in the Brinkmann, where it has 2 offset LEDs that makes it better? I've always wondered why the official "Swirl finder" has offset light sources yet the best natural swirl finder (the sun) is just a single point light source

Looks great, I've got a 16 WRX Premium in ISM as well, so far the car has been hit with cicada after cicada, and a nice thick coating of pollen. I'm curious to see how bad the paint will be marred from these collisions and accumulation of pollen. Looking Good!

I have no intention to ever bring a MF towel near this vehicle for that reason. I fully intend on recommending an AGO vendor to handle it. I will look over the paint prior to sending him to a detailer to at least evaluate and "grease the skids" as to what the condition is so there is no sticker...
