Thank you.

I really enjoy polishing paint.

I met this gentleman at Porsche event I brought a Yellow Porsche, Side-by-Side demonstration car to.

He brought his car up to the booth and showed me the buffer swirl and cobweb-effect throughout the entire finish and asked me how to make them go away. It also had a black stain right in the middle of the hood that I was not able to remove. (I didn't try very hard because it looks like black primer showing through, been there... done that...)

I did a little test spot and discoverd his paint was a single-stage and incredibly soft.

While it was easy to buff out, I had to be very careful because it would be very easy to buff through a paint like this on a high point or even on a flat surface.

The 20/26 combo worked out quite nice on this paint.

Here is a pic of the yellow side by side after finishing the other side.

I'll be posting the write-ups to my site tonight and tomorrow if anyone wants to see what I used at ShowCarGarage
