Look great! How's the 105/OP mix? I know Picus mixes EC/OP alot - I'm guessing 105 is much more aggressive. | |

A little bit of OP will slow down that process and allow it to work a little bit more and consequently, a little more cut and a nice finish. It is also much, *much* easier to use than Menzerna Powergloss. | |

Great work guys! Quote:

EDIT: ya beat me to it! I'm too slow. | |

Well, the cars look great! I've been thinking of trying out some of that CG citrus wash soon. | |

Cars look awesome... so the black/106ff combo cleans up pretty nicely after 105/pwf and ip/pwf? I think I'm going to start using black pads a lot for finishing instead of white.

Picus started work at about 9:30 AM. I started about 10:45. We finished the Silver Z06 at about 9:00 PM.
