Products used? Did the compounding leave a lot of hazing?

Wow that was BAD! Great work as always Thomas.
On a related note, do you find that you enjoy working as part of a team much, much more than by yourself? I've teamed up with Dave Fermani these days, and it's way more fun having another guy to chat with while your working and another eye to see things in case you missed them. Plus, you can keep each other motivated on those "impossible jobs".

I would think that David would be a great guy to work with. He has given me great insight on many different topics. I thought it was great working with Thomas. It did not start out well though because I had bad directions (not Thomas' fault though).
Even though I was there in person, dang  that BMW looks messed up.
Both #105 and Extreme-Cut finished like a dream. Of course Ultrafina brought up the rear as usual. Thomas' EZ-Glaze step though is what really intrigued me. By treating EZ-Glaze like a polish (meaning by breaking it down) it really brought the gloss to an "unreal" level.

The car now is for sale.
I very much preferred working with Eric.
I didn't measure the paint afterwards.
