If it has paint... it gets polished...

This is why we all get on this forum...to learn from the best!! Mike you are pretty amazing...am looking forward to meeting you here in SA on the 14th for the GTC
 
I guess ill bring this blast from the past up to the top...what an awesome job and gorgeous turn out.

First i was wondering..where can the video of this job be viewed?

Second of all...any pictures of it after the fuzion was applied?

Lastly, you never said why you would COMPLETELY finish the roof...before ever touching the rest of the car with compound or anything else.

Hope this thread isn't so old it doesn't get a reply.

thanks again mike...you've helped a lot of people..me being one...hope you always stay true to detailing and don't ever get hollywood on us :)

This was long enough ago that since we didn't process the video back then it probably won't get processed just due to other priorities. (Sorry)

Ask and you shall recieve...

Knock out painted roofs first, then tackle the rest of the car...

I found this picture of a 1952 DeSoto that Richard Lin and I dampsanded using Porter Cables before dampsanding was a commonly used detailing term.

The flannel bed sheet is covering the roof because at the point in time this picture was taken the paint on the roof had been sanded, compounded, machine polished twice and machine sealed. We didn't want any airborne dust landing and settling on the paint while we continued to work downward.

What a sleek shine that you got on your car. I like your work. It perfectly done by a mechanic.

Now you can understand it well that if it has paint then it gets polished and you got it well.

Good effort.
