1999 Trans Am Extreme Makeover - Testing M101 Foam Cut Compound
Last night we put the new M101 Foam Cut Compound to the test using 6 different types of tools and pads to under years of damage to a 1999 Trans Am Anniversary Edition that sat outside, unprotected for over 4 years.
Exposed to South Florida's extreme range of temperature and weather conditions, the factory paint took a beating and was stained with embedded dirt, oxidized as well as filled with swirls, scratches and water spots.
The vinyl graphics were also dried-out, faded, cracked and very brittle making the car look beat and weathered.
M101 quickly removed years of damage no matter what tool or pad combination we used and no matter what the skill level of the user. We had full-time professional detailers, hobby detailers and even one gentleman brand new to the modern detailing scene on hand to help with the transformation.
Like it's little brother, M105, the new M101 not only removed the paint defects with ease, it also left the paint looking as though it were just professionally polished and even waxed.
I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story.

Tip: Use a body line to help your camera lens to focus on the paint.
Be prepared to be blown away.... it's as though this car just rolled off the assembly line in 1999...
