After the first pass of SFX-1 there were few, but i repeated over the entire car and all was gone!

Very impressive sound system also singh ! Especially your choice of head unit !

Paultso · 09-05-05, 09:29

Mitchubishievo · 09-05-05, 09:39

is all I have to say. That's a beyond sweet looking.

WOW, that looks great! Bad *** car too! You have more gutts than I do, I couldn't bring myself to wetsand my paint. I'd be too afraid that I would mess up.

You have guts!! Awesome car though, i can safely say that is the only is300 that hasn't made me gag. you make it look good.

That turned out GREAT!

That's a scary job...I don't think I'd ever attempt a full body wetsand without at least a paint thickness gauge.

Mr Singh · 09-05-05, 02:29

Thanks guys!

Here's a link of a video of the engine noise... You need Quicktime.

Totally Agree. Especially as there is no clear coat..

I didn't do the Hood as its flat enough, the sides were horrid...

Here's an example.

Wow what a job

. Looks like a new paint job. I noticed the black on the polishing pads, I hope it's single stage paint you were dealing with.

Mr Singh · 09-05-05, 03:01

Yes, no clear coat.

PCP was set to #5... yellow pad would have been better i guess, but 2 pass's of SFX-1 got things looking better than it was before i started with wetsand lol

Soon as the Klasse AIO was applied i stood back and was just amazed at the clarity! i felt like repeating the process, but as advised it doesn't benefit from layering, so proceeded to layer several coats of Klasse SG

Now its totally sealed i think i'll be trying some wax's.... So any suggestions for achieving the wetest deepest finish?

Maybe worth giving it another coat of Pinnacle Signature Wax...
