2014 Post SEMA New Product Review at Autogeek
This was a first for me...
In my life I've done at least a half a dozen before and after demo cars where I've taped a car down the middle and then only buffed out one side of the car. The deal is after the show or event showcasing the before and after results I always buffed out the other side of the car.
Here's probably the most recognized side-by-side, before and after demonstration.

Well last night... we only buffed out the one side... that means pj is driving around a car with one beautiful bright shiny side and one side is well... take a look....
pj from Dodo Juice and the guys taping his RENTAL car down the middle.
We covered the passenger side up with microfiber cover-up towels to protect and preserve the ugly....
Here's the finished shot before we removed the tape. Frank took this standing in the bed of my truck which was also buffed out using the new Menzerna 3-in-1.
Taking the tape off....
Removing the cover-up towels....
The results....
Wheels and tires were cleaned and detailed by Frank using the new DP Tire Coating Kit. Nice work Frank!
And the team.... from left to right,
Robert, Frank, pj, Antti and Craig.... Me? I'm in the back of my truck taking the picture
Later, if I have any free time I'll post the action shots of the work being performed using the new Sonax MAXCUT and the Flex PE8.
And "yes" pj is driving the car around with only half of it buffed out. We're all hoping he takes a picture of the face on the person that works at the rental car agency when he returns it.
