Re: 335, 550, Element, Limo

I read that 20 minutes ago, and I am still laughing!
Who drives the limo, Bo or Luke Duke?

At $46 a quart, I'm not using it in an application it wasn't designed for. By DA, I don't think there would be any advantage to using UF over something like Optimum Finish or Pink Moose (50/50 blend of Vanilla Moose and RMG).
Got_Leather-good to hear it! I started using OS on wood trim about a month ago and have been really happy with the look.
Hey, Moe!-the limo is actually privately owned by a law firm owner who I don't believe has any connection to Jones. Must be nice to have that kind of income where you can afford a limo and driver to be at your beck and call.  |

Re: 335, 550, Element, Limo
Scott - All the vehicles look great. That limo sure has a lot of surface area to polish! How long did the polishing take on that with the G110? I'm loving the video's. Please keep them coming.
Since you just mentioned Optimum Finish on the PC, what are your thoughts on OF? I've got a sample bottle. Just in the few times that I've used it, it seems to leave a real nice shine but it's a PITA to wipe off the paint. I'm not sure if I got a bad sample, but I was really turned off by that aspect. It would cause my towel to grab and basically roll out from under my hand (if that makes any sense). I liked everything else about it though. So again, what are your thoughts on OF? I'm trying to decide whether or not to buy a quart.

Re: 335, 550, Element, Limo
OF is almost as much of a pain to remove as Meguiars #7 at times. I use two MF towels, use one with the plush side up, the second one with the not so plush side up. Seems to work much better that way when removing. Definitely has a real nice look. |

Re: 335, 550, Element, Limo
Thanks for the quick tips for OF Scott. I wonder if adding 25% Poli-Seal would help with the removal!?!?!
Thanks again!

The owner didn't want to change the color, which is supposed to be gray lilke in the pictures. Most of the oxidation is the cladding at the edge of the roof. He is considering painting the cladding now so in the future, I can just wax it and not worry about it. |

No problem. If you get the opportunity to try it before I do, let us know how it works.
