Black Viper with System One Use

[imported_Totoland Mach]

I`ve been evaluating the SYSTEM ONE product for the last 4-5 cars and wanted to give it a real workout on a badly swirled Black car. The Ferrari service shop got this Viper and wanted me to bring the paint to a good level. The car has been totally re-painted, so it was not OEM level paint.



Here is a representative sample of the finish I was working with:

System One is a single-use product and you use wool to do your compound-type work (swirls, scratches, sanding marks, etc), then switch to foam and use the same liquid for final polish. In my case, it saves me a couple of steps compared to using 3M compounds, glazes, polishes, etc. It is dusty, but it is a water based product and cleans up extremely easy.



Here`s a shot of the roof after just the wool. You could almost finish the car with just wool, but I used it per directions and switched to foam.

I used their spray wax in a wax-as-u-dry method after a final rinse to remove dust and splatter. Dried the car with a microfiber and the System One wax, let haze and buffed. This worked well for me because of the time factor in finishing this car.

Great shine on the Viper:drool: , so did you like using the System one polish, i wonder if it works with a UDM? Nice work Toto!.......:bigups

[The Edge]

could we see a picture of the pads that you used? They look like they did a pretty good job.

[KMHAWAIIDH]

Looks good! nice job!

Nice that is the test I wanted to see .It really looks like a decent product. Great work as always Toto !!!

Nice! The hood shots made me drool as well as the car itself. The old RT/10`s and gts are way better looking then the new vipers IMO

Hey where do you get System One? We had some at our shop but it got used up and I never got a chance to try it out. It looks like it worked well for you.

I got it directly from their web site: Get a SYSTEM ONE Pro Kit and polish like a Pro. (http://www.polishandwax.com/system-one-pro-kit.htm)



I talked to Gary and he is super helpful in product usage.

That first hood shot almost put me in a trance from all the reflection. Good Job!

[imported_fishbonezken]

exceptional machine polishing Toto!

[Thomas Dekany]

Very nice Toto. How long did it take? How was the paint.

Doesnt sound/look like too bad of a product. I wonder where I have been, I`ve never heard of it. Like zoomzoom said, do you think it would work well without a rotary? Also would it work if you just wanted to use the foam pad if the cc you were working on was soft? BTW looks great.

[Thomas Dekany]

Remember that a big part of it is the detailer. Is it a good product? I am sure. Is it an exceptioal product? I doubt it.



You can use Optimum Polish the same way.



PS: I have never tried a polish on the pc that didn`t work.

Wow, that Viper looks great Toto. With your skills, you could make the car look fabulous with anything you use. You make it look so easy! Always a pleasure to see your work! :bow
