so how long did it take to apply and remove the pink moose?
do you do you apply to the whole vehicle first or section at a time, then come back and remove the product?


thanks

Excellent work as always.
It's probably the lighting but I really like the look of the Excursion. Very deep and black.
The Sequioa looks great too, so much depth, and the metallic is popping nicely with Natty's Blue.

Nice work Scott! Can you elaborate a bit on your Pink Moose experience? I've got an empty container to make up some for myself!

This may sound stupid, but if the Optimum was taking too long on the Subaru, how come you used it on the huge Excursion?! What do you mean by too long?

Yeah, CJ seems more like a liquid carnauba, definitely much thicker than a detail spray. In fact, I am sure you could apply it with a foam hand pad if you wished. My understanding from Jeff at Werkstatt is that it is meant as a true LSP. I haven't been using it long enough yet to know how long it lasts but I now have it on two black Silverados I wash conventionally so we will see.

I use it like Vanilla Moose. Polishing pad with speeds of 5-6. You can apply and remove per panel or the whole car then remove. Either way, it wipes off with ease. It seems to clean the paint as well as regular VM and leaves the finish as wet as RMG. Real time saver when you are pro since a lot of people will only pay for a few steps. They aren't really interested in a 5 step detail on a daily driver.

tumbler-before I came to Autopia, all I had used for years were Meguiars 80 series polishes in my business. I still go back to DACP and 80 at times. I probably could have used a cutting pad instead but I thought it better to go up a notch with the polish instead of the pad.

Spilchy-DACP was doing in 2-3 slow passes what was taking 6-7 passes with Optimum-and DACP was finishing down almost as well.

I went with Optimum on the Excursion because he wants to do any necessary deep polishing after winter is over. He will be going on a few more ski trips to Colorado. I used DACP and 80 on it the last time I deep polished it. My goal was to get the most defect removal and leave the most LSP ready finish possible in one step and Optimum really works in that regard.
