The Flex PE8 Kompakt rotary polisher is a good tool for spot correction. It can be used with 3 inch, 2 inch, and even a 1 inch backing plate with corresponding pads. Get some finishing pads to eliminate any rotary holograms and you're set.

Thanks guys! Yes it was original single stage paint minus the front bumper lip which was resprayed recently. A bloodbath to work with polishing wise but it didn't create any issues for me when coating.

Hey everyone! I detailed a 308GTS this week and made a 5 minute video documenting the process. The video is for a film class I'm taking. First time doing a detailing video so I had some fun with it. I ended up using the Rupes LHR15 MKII and Flex PE8 + 3401. I also polished many spots by hand...

How experienced are you with applying paint coatings? I've used the BLACKFIRE Crystal Coat and found it to have a bit of a learning curve as it can be tacky to work with. I'd recommend something like Optimum Opti-Gloss or Wolfgang Uber Ceramic Coating if this is your first time using a coating.

Paint looks great! The engine compartment went through an amazing transformation as well. Great job!

Well done! Those sun shots tell it all. Thanks for sharing.

Good stuff. I'm a big fan since it doesn't have a nasty chemical odor. Thanks for sharing!

I knew this thread would be good when I read the title and saw who posted it. Great job as always. That is one proper looking C4 now.

Great review! Looks like a quality interior maintenance product. Not bad for 8 bucks.

This bottle is only a couple of months old. Not sure if you wanted to see the back label. I usually don't wait more than a 1 minute before wiping. I live in Texas so it never really gets too cold here. On the rare days where it's actually "cold", I wait around 2 minutes. On warmer days I can...

Very cool car. Yours looks like it was kept in great shape.

Man that would be a treat to work on. Good luck! Looking forward to seeing the after photos.

Very nice! I really do like the McKee's 37 lineup. New and improved formulas of the products I already like using is definitely a plus.

That's awesome Joe. I loved Christine as a kid. I always like to keep a scale model of my bigger toys :)

I run mine at speed 3 most of the time for smaller pads. Occasionally I might bump it up to 3.5 or 4.

Welcome! Fellow Sugar Land resident here.

Looking sharp! Congrats on a job well done.

Nice work and photos! Thank you for sharing. Looks great in the sunlight.

Welcome! Personally I would go for a Griot's Garage 6 inch dual action polisher and swap on a 5 inch backing plate. It costs a little bit more than the Porter Cable but offers more power and a lifetime warranty from Griot's Garage. I would suggest getting at least 4 cutting pads and another 4...

Ah yes that changes quite bit. Meguiar's does have a dedicated microfiber pad just for finishing. I haven't used it personally as I like to use foam for finishing but maybe someone else can chime in with their experience. My guess is that you won't notice very much difference using different...
