Here’s one of the training cars for tomorrow. It’s a Mercedes-Benz E500 with the PPG Ceramiclear Paint System.

Everyone always says this paint system is ROCK HARD.

The hood on that yellow Mustang should present a nice challenge ... :buffing:
 
On location here with Mike and the students, got here a bit late he starts early 7am meet up and class st 7:30!

I’ll try to get pics for everybody but I know Mike as always will have tons to share!!
