Doesn't look bad from afar, but it sure needed some work.

Dealer prep? Check!

Nice, but TBH didn't get the last few pictures.
More importantly, which products used & may be some 50/50s?rops:

Nice job. Those reflection shots are awesome.

 

[Angus]

Dang! Awesome results on one of dream cars!!

 

[Caleb@ImpeccableImage]

Great looking car

 

[Desertnate]

The car looks amazing, but equally impressive is the owner using it as a daily driver. You both deserve a round of applause.

Outstanding work!

nice job thomas, what machines and products were used for this correction?

 

[tdekany]

Thank you gents!

Same old stuff - HD Adapt, and Primer Polish. Various pads, Rupes 21, 3401, Griots pc.

Looks so good. Why do you use more than one polisher? Not criticizing, just curious

Have you tried using the rupes on curves surfaces? It slows/or simply stops. That is when I use the 3401. The PC is usually for applying Primer Polish. Finishes much better than the 3401

I've tried Barry's Americrocks and while it dusts, (I hate dust) it cuts very very good, so I may switch.

Thanks!

Thank you! I have only tried one of them when they came out, so unfortunately I can't help you.

Great work and share, keep on!

Kind Regards.

ahh, nah, it's ok. was just curious. i use them almost exclusively for the personal stuff i do. i like them a lot...great flexibility. though the sprayer concept doesn't work that well in practice, esp. if you aren't using them every single day. you end up having to prime the sprayer into a trash can or something to get actual polish flowing and end up wasting some each time. i recently transferred mine to fine bore flip top squeeze bottles. much easier. ANYWAY, thanks dude!

I havent even touched a polisher yet I'll be ordering one before spring though. Just asking people why they do what they do so I can learn basically

i didn't realize barry had so many different products out now. good for him, i wish him continued success...

Visitor - Barry is doing well, and the compound is a must try product.

pacman - a PC maybe the best tool to start with.

builthatch - I didn't care for the spray bottle either and did what you did back then.

Tato - obrigado!!!
