:wow: Mike...

What an unselfish gesture on your part!! :props:
That's another reason that makes it so nice to "know you" as my AGO forum friend.

Very nice and well-written and formated write-up. Makes it easy to read, learn from and also enjoy.

Excellent photography too. Pictures are all well framed-up and tell a story.

Results? Ah... they speak for themselves. Top notch work just like you're known for.

I will buy the super soap if you have any left when you go to GERMANY. Remember no liquids on the airplane. LOL
 
Man looking great Mike! You posses some serious talent my friend! :)
 
Excellent job! I need to try my FG400 with some different pads to see if I can get it closer to LSP ready as you did in some areas. I tend to use it with microfiber and it cuts awesome but like you found for the big areas it's just a bit shy of being good enough for LSP.
 
That is a great job Mike!

Camaros have a ton of paint to polish lol and often it's on inconvenient curves and what not.

I have found most good compounds to be able to finish out pretty good on our hard GM paint as well so seeing that FG400 finished out LSP ready is definitely very believable.

Great job! Las Vegas is going to lose one of its best detailers when you move.

Thank you for taking the time from your day to comment on my thread Mike. I always try to push the envelope with all areas of detailing.

My new found addition is DSLR photography. I find it goes hand in hand with detailing.

Your last comment blows my mind. Thanks a bunch.

On a friendly note, I want your job. Lol.

Thank you!!!

You should try FG400 with a foam cutting pad and work it a bit longer than normal for LSP ready results on some paint. Try 6-8 passes instead of the common 4-6.

My next step is the 3401, FG400, and purple hybrid wool pads for even more omph.

Thank you so much for the kind compliment Roshan!!!

There is so much more surface area on these Camaro's than meets the eye.

Your not lying about having hard paint. This car hard the typicall "Corvette Hard" clear on it.

Im getting 530inv or Jace up to speed on taking over my operation when I leave. Hopefully I can continue my work and write ups from Germany...



Thanks guys. I dont know what all to say other than I am deeply flattered to read the comments that you all have so thoughtfully put up for me.

Thanks for the info. I'm actually planning on stripping my daily (Silver Dodge Nitro R/T) to try some Sonax polymer net shield on it and was going to also try some Sonax nano 3/6 polish but maybe I'll do some testing with FG400 in some areas on a few different foam pads to see how good I can get it to look. Granted it's a well maintained silver truck so it's about as easy a job as I could give it but it's worth a shot.

Great. Let us know how it goes. I bet you will be suprised by the finishing ability of FG400...
