They also mention: "You may notice an oily splatter on the surrounding areas of the car as you polish. This tells you that you are using the right amount of product to get the job done right".
Aren't you getting ANY oilly splatter when you use UF?

David, If I remember right from the video they also mention that you should always have a "film" of polish on the surface the entire time you are using it. At times I still get some splatter, but since I have reduced the amount I am using, it is very minimal and I still have the "film" of UF on the surface. |

One Q, what color is the Ultrafina? It looks white, mine is blue? Is there a newer/older version

Thanks. You're right. It came out really white looking in the picture. Maybe the flash and the deeper blue of the car had something to do with it appearing that way? It's much darker looking than the picture makes it look.

Correct. I guess using a little more will help it stay wetter/longer. I get zero sling when I buff, I just get the oil spots on some panels. Did you notice how much product the tech uses in their video?

I agree. The calipers are huge. Much nicer than their "Big Red Brakes."

Re: 2005 Porsche Carrera GT - Paint to Sample Gulf Blue
I really should look at Click & Brag more often! Great job David, yes, I took notes on your technique and will have to get some of those AM products - especially since Brandon1 found a distributor at the beach. I just got some 1Z glans wax and can't wait to get it on my car.
Oh yeah - ain't karma grand - you know what I mean...

Re: 2005 Porsche Carrera GT - Paint to Sample Gulf Blue
Stunning. Your posts always leave me amazed. I just finished grad school, and I think rather than trying to get as good as you are, I'll focus on being able to afford your work one day.  |

Clearly a matter of opinion.
In this case, it is one with which I completely agree. Nasty color.
Damn nice car, and incredible work though!  |
