This is my first Show n Shine as i just recently figured out how to imbed photos. i know i probably screwed it up but...

There was a recent thread asking about "favorite cocktails" and it got me thinking about when i used to practice some. This customer simply wanted a 1 step and after several test spots i decided on a combo of HD Speed and a little Menz FG400. This was used with my flex 3401 and orange hybrid pads...about 8 of 'em!

I considered the working time and properties of both Speed and FG400. I let FG400 slightly flash when i work only with that and that work time may overwork the Speed. Plus the fact i like to leave some Speed on the paint and don't wipe off until i've applied it to the entire vehicle. Speed wipes off sooooo easily even after a long dwell time! While those 2 product work times may contradict, i found a happy medium of more correction ability blending with some residual LSP. Because he is a neighbor i will monitor the durability of Speed.

Nice work!

Full size trucks are fun, aren't they? Mine might be how I convince the missus to upgrade from a PC!

thanks my airborne pip! Yes, it was a pleasure to work on but a long day...even for a 1 stepper. I loved the brilliance of that color too.

As is always the case with photos here it was not as representative as it was in person but thank you Bigry and Sicoupe!

Hey that's no BMW! Lolz. Happy to see a Show 'N Shine non the less.

Looking good. You really brought out the color of that blue paint. Looks really good.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Mike! Yes, dramatically different than German paint.
