Re: Burgundy Vette

The finish is stunning! The car was dirty but the paint looked in fairly good condition. Were there many swirls or defects? Either way the combination used worked great!

You mention OC/OP/OHC mix... is that an equal mix of all of them? What do you feel this accomplishes by mixing the three of them? Please don't take this as me questioning your products or process as I am just curious. I've heard of OP/OHC to make a middle ground but never heard of a mixture of the three.

Regardless, as I stated, whatever it is made the finish look outstanding!!

The paint was in good shape.

I had 3 bottles of polishes that were getting low and I just mixed the 3 together. About equel amount. Made 10oz or so.

Thanks!
