Got this thing in yesterday. Neighbor, who`s a pilot, uses this car as his "airport car". So it gets pretty beat up. He just paid it off, and wanted to spruce it up a bit, he came to the right place ;) I know it`s not a Lambo, Viper of Ferrari, but I wanted to show off my new buffing carts abilities ;)

Some of you remember I just built that buffing cart. This is the first buff with the new cart, and I am extremely impressed with it! So much light, and exactly where it needs to be! Having all my tools right there, hooked up and ready to go is a huge improvement! I really can`t say it makes anything go faster, but the convenience of having everything right beside me, ready to go is so nice!

Here`s a close up of the flake. Really couldn`t see any of the flake too well before I got a hold of it.

And that is not wax or product on the edges, it`s chips.

Yeah, I was quite impressed with the Lusso Oro. I don`t have a ton of waxes like some of you guys, but this one ranks pretty high so far. This was the first vehicle that I go a chance to play with it, but it really gave it some depth and gloss. I`ll play with it more in the coming weeks, and have a better idea of the quality of it.

Great job Nick, the car is awesome. Your detail and correction skills are awesome, thanks for sharing!

Wow... Fantastic work, man. That paint looks better-than-new.

Edit: The more I look at the "befores", the more impressive the "afters" become. Seriously, that`s one of the best turn arounds I`ve seen in recent memory. You managed to get that "liquid shimmer" look that always seems to evade me.

The detail cart with the lights and outlet mounted on it is a really good idea. I might have to make one for myself :p

Oh, and the car turned out great too ;)

Way to go, Nick. Amazing what one can now accomplish with M105 and a D/A. And I`m glad to hear that you are pleased with the Lusso Oro.

Yes I did. I actually liked it quite a bit. Not the absolute best wax I`ve ever used, but it works very well.

The cart is elegantly simple and effective. The before/after on the car is stunning. You`re right - he went to the right place!
