WG DGPS topped w/ CG Pete's 53 gets my $.02 for metallic Red.

Thanks for the replies. Makes me feel a little better. But what about the paint? I've read that it was hard, but do they have a clearcoat?

Depth of Field ha ha! I guess JBs was right!

Great pics. love thos flakes! On the photography side, what camera and lens are you using? Great DOF!

Got a job on Tuesday and accepted this one sight unseen. Customer says its in good condition, but then again... Anyway, I've been doing searches and wondered if anyone has any advice on curves, plastic, etc. I plan to use a pc and metabo with Menz, XMT, Optimum Poli-Seal in my arsenal. My...

I just finished a Black 4Runner with the Festool and love it! Unfortunately, it was a loaner and had to return it. Pros: Very high speed orbital vs PC. pc6=Festool4 and it goes up to 6, about 6800opm. 7amps vs 3.7 on the pc, which means it does not bog down when applying pressure. If level...

I considered it, but can't justify the cost. This is the only customer that I've had that problem with. She even led me to a community water spigot (sp?), even though her water hose was closer! How's the noise on a gas generator? I'm assuming its louder than a pc...

If the car's in good shape, you may skip the XMT3/XMT1 and just use the XMT360 to polish. Follow that with DGPS, then top with PS. Or vice versa, skip the XMT360 and use the XMT3/1 combo, DGPS, PS. I just used the XMT360 for the 1st time yesterday and it cleans pretty well. It also leaves a...

Good thread for the Lexus family. I have an 06 Neptune Blue Mica RX400h and have recently noticed a few scratches. I was going to use IP, but just picked up some 106FF so I think I'll use that. Unless someone else thinks otherwise. After using Menz products, I have to agree with Nica...

Have you considered ONR or DP 4in1? Use them and wash the car in sections/panels at a time so you don't get the water spots and premature drying. In Hawaii, we don't have too much of a problem with bad water, but the sun just dries it up by the time you rinse your sponge. Even in the shade...

Wheel alignment is always a good precaution. I think he might new tires though. :D But seriously, glad to hear that he's ok and not harmed.

Afters:

This one was a pretty tough job. Hard to tell, but it was actually pretty oxidized. Not to mention, no electricity, had to to use an inverter with not enough power to remove oxidation on a PC. So, I did my best with the limited resources available. Process: Wash - ONR, 2 bucket Clay - 1/2...

Great turnaround. Looks like you added a little color to it too! For all inquiring, RL stands for Rightlook. He mentioned it in another thread.

Just picked up CG Spray Wax that supposed to lengthen existing wax protection. Says to apply on a MF then wipe on hot car. Does this apply to other QDs?

Great turnaround! Always love your work!

Wow, that's some Orange Flake POP! With those products, how bad was the paint? Can't wait to see the rest.

ha ha! Yeah, they were good company. When I missed a spot, they'd go up to the car, sniff it with their wet nose. Just to make sure I cleaned it good! :D Maybe that's why it took so long:o

Thanks to all for the compliments. It was torture, especially with all that bird cr@p. But, honestly, after all the work and Ibuprofen, it was actually fun! You guys are the only rich ones! The machine I used was a loaner. Don't know if I'll be shelling out 500 smackers for one of my own...

I was impressed with the difference in cutting power and gloss of the Menz IP. As alot of people mentioned, the outcome of these products can vary depending on pad. I've also found that the Festool rotary using white pad didn't finish as glossy as the Festool orbital using a yellow pad. The...
