Re: Today's details

Great job Thomas! I noticed you are using the PC a lot more, any reason you arent using your Makita? Love the wetness on the rolla!

Excellent job on both, the Corolla looks incredibly deep!

Gotta love that hard VW clear, OC and an orange pad and it is LSP ready!

Re: Today's details

Thank you guys!

Carl Johnson - owned by a female

Chris - I charge by the hour and honestly, when the cars have and will be neglected there is no reason to go all out. The difference is still day and night once I am finished. Often the paint is correctable with the pc, so no rotary needed.

Lately I have had many cars with no swirls in them = pc

If I were as lucky as you and got a chance to do supercars? I would go for perfection as well.

Re: Today's details

does the ceramiclear really detract swirls that much??

Those cars look NICE!

What kind of polishes work well with the new clears that are coming out?? I know there is that Menz line but hard to get into the states?
