Thanks! The color doesnt require any different treatment than all other colors. The biggest concern was the polished aluminum, its not cleared or anodized, just raw polished aluminum, so it tarnishes and turns yellow from the heat and rain. The grey has alot of heavy metallic in it so i found...

I dont know what it is about all Auto Magic distributors but they are all pushy. I tell them that I only use certain products and they always say that they have something just as good for 1/3 the price and it always ends up being some crap that looks good, until you do an alcohol wipe on it then...

ive used a few of their products before, BC1, BC2, new car glaze etc....they are designed for the professional shop that pumps out high volume work. they arent bad, but far from the greatest. their polishes contain alot of fillers, so if you are looking for a fast and easy polish and arent...

great job, i know that was some work, i did a 1960 and it was one of the most difficult cars to polish especially the front fenders. as for a metal polish, i like the polish that is made here in FL at a truck stop called the I-75 chrome shop. they make it and label in house, but the stuff works...

everything helps, especially when im tryin to make sure that im not the only one this has happened to...thanks again for everyones input. i guess ill just have to be quicker at wiping down the panel after polishing

Thanks everyone!

Thank you for the input, any idea why it adheres? like I said before, i never had this problem with 3M or Menzerna. Both washed off effortlessly. Thanks again to everyone for chiming in, again, not tryin to get crappy with anyone. Just difficult sometimes to get your point across through a keyboard

i know what the white specs are, im not asking that. i use a dime sized amount and spread evenly over a 12-18 in square. im not a rookie, sometimes sling is just happens, thats why we all cover cowling and convertible tops. what im getting at is the little bit of splatter gets hard and doesnt...

Love the finished result, but Ive had some issues with sling, splatter, whatever you wanna call it. I always wash the car after polishing to get ready for LSP, but Ive noticed that even after washing there is still white specs everywhere. Quick detail doesnt work, alcohol, only thing that seems...

Thanks, every time one of these comes into my shop i question that whole recession thing, and yea, they are rentals. they are convenient cause not too many shops in this area allow detail. evidentally we are a bad crowd:mad:

Thanks! for the most part it is pretty fun, but the time crunches that sometimes come with the jobs arent. The Spyker was a cool project because it is 1 of 24 made and only 10 available in the states

Thank you for the comments, about 75% of my work are cars like these. On a detail for one of these cars, you have to pay attention to everything, the carbon fiber, stainless exhaust and especially the leather. The headlights are actually made out of a material similiar to the glass roofs on a...

They start at $300 and go up depending on how far the customer wants to go. The red 430 has all stainless Tubi exhaust and he wanted the mufflers polished, small things like that obviously drive the price up and I get to drive them, so that makes it even better. :D

Ive been having great results lately with M105, M205, 3M Ultrafina and Fuzion. Thought I'd share a few of my latest jobs, thanks for peekin...

great job on the 360, nice reflections

i have used it before and it does work very well, smaller chips only require one application, larger chips need a couple passes to fill before leveling

i have had awesome results with this compound to very close to being LSP ready with the megs burgundy wool and turning the rotary at 1000 rpm and periodically wetting the surface with a QD

i heard 1000 grit sand paper works well..lol

as of right now its the same number, i have to go by my supply shop tomorrow and i will get it and post later

they are not discontinuing the product, i spoke with 3M when i was in vegas for SEMA, they are simply narrowing down their line and giving certain products different numbers. I heard this as well with 3M 6060 and had to find out for myself when i was there. i also use the ultrafina(6068) with a...
