Thanks, it was two long days.... I was attemping perfection and even had to wetsand a few areas with 2500. But all in all, I am happy with the results!
 
WOW! That car looks amazing! Great Job! I am actually shocked at how well the UPGP looks...very WET and DEEP! ???? I have used UPGP on Black and Metallic Silver and it looks nothing like that? I guess I'll have to give it one more shot. Again Great Job and I love that Color!

Thanks! How do you like the PGP? Also, I agree about the NASCAR tire shine, great stuff indeed! I believe it is also water based. I have 4 bottles of it :cheers:

So far so good with the PGP. Very good slickness and looks, but full durability is still to be tested....

you'll burn out your UDM like that! :D If you plan on doing similar jobs look at getting a Flex 3401 or a rotary :D.

On the the comments...EXCELLENT WORK!
