I`ve been out exploring the world recently, so its nice to come back to some details.



Anyways, after 7 hours of jet lag, and 48 hours of no sleep, I came home to work on this SRT 4 for Canada`s Sport Compact Nights. I`m sure some of you guys may remember it from last year, but I redid it this year. Daily driven abuse, so bare with me.

SSR 2.5

#82

Souveran

Charge: $100



#2: Audi A6 for my chiropracter



Decent shape, probably due to the rock hard Audi clear. Nothing seemed to budge the imperfections, so I stepped upto XP Compound and cutting pad, but it was still slow going. My rotary was out of commision, or else I would have saved ALOT of time.

#3: Mercadies M Series



Very bad shape, but I don`t have any befores. I coudln`t get all the swirls out on this one, but it looked 10x`s better than before.

I had fixed my rotary, so I ended up getting it done decently fast.

Steve,



Excellent Job on them all.



I would highly reccomend trying out Hi Temps Extreme Cut Compound. I and many other mix it 50/50 with optimum polish and work @1500. It does an excellent job at removing anything that can safely be removed. I like to follow up with menzerna FPII for a perfect finish. HOpe you try it sometime.



Great job again!

Is the second pic of the Audi a finished pic? Nice job on all three by the way

All look great, love how deep and wet the pearl A6 looks. :bow



I am right with you on Audi clear, even with the Cyclo, cutting pads and OHC, it is slow going removing even light imperfections.

Very nice. What are your thoughts on the Dress It Right? I can`t seem to find any, but alot of people say it`s durable. Where`d you pick it up at?

Looks pretty good! I use the menzerna power gloss and then the FP2.

I need to pick some of this up.



I love the Dress it Right, and is VERY durable. I get it direct from my local distributer.



Also, yes, its a finished car in the second picture. Why? Looks flawless to me. Maybe you`re seeing some flare up from the camera lens or something.

Not sure what that is...I have tired eyes. Audi paint is hard...I should know. Details look great, especially the SRT-4

I doubt it, but I can say for certain. Looked fine under my halogens.

How ever you spell it. I can`t afford one, so I don`t need to know how to spell it. :getdown
