They all look really good Scott, nice work.
This heat and sun are killing me pulling 8-10 hour polishings......needless to say I've really been enjoying my days off.

I really enjoyed checking out your details. It was a pleasure to see how great a job you accomplished with those black ones (and of course the M5). your customers MUST have been shocked!!!
I'm especially impressed with how little marring occurred with biweekly ONR washes for so long.
I sold my P21s10% and am going back to the CMW.
Question: can you elaborate on how you use Optimum Car Wax to pull off the CMW? (i have both and would like to try that out) | |

Tends to stay good after you polish it if you use good washing techniques. Josh-honestly, I'll take the 97-102 degree days we've been having over 35 degree days anyday! Been great for getting the miles in on my road bike too, should be close to 500 miles this month.
I do agree that the marathon polishing sessions are tough, regardless of the temperature. Have you seen an increase in cars you need to polish water spots out of? It seems to be a lot more prevalent this year than last. snowflake-I let CMW haze about 10 minutes (although you really don't see that much on the car if you apply it thinly) and then lightly spritz with OCW, spread it into the paint, then flip the towel and wipe off. tdekany-the first Corvette took around 5.5 hours (exterior only), around 4 for the second one, the TT took nearly 6 because of the sap, and the M5 about 3 hours-could have finished it faster but my customer was interested in learning about the process, so I was doing a lot of explaining while I was working. Dave-the Ultrafina polish and blue Ultrafina pad.
