APPARENTLY Darth Vader found out that Sizzle Chest was booked solid, so he brought this extremely nice GT3 from his extensive collection of black cars for you to do.

All kidding aside, all I can say is the true owner will be very happy see their GT3 in such a "reflective mode."
I also assume you are enjoying using the Rupes 75E Mini with the modifications to the switch you made a little more now.

One question about M101 Speed Compound: What characteristics does this correction compound have that makes you say "I love this stuff"?
How does it "behave" on black Porsche paint and or is pretty much the same for ALL paints (clear coats actually), regardless of color or hardness.

One question on you photography equipment: What camera/phone are you using to take your videos and photos?
I did see your person reflected in the video, but I am not going to make a comment about the T-shirt you were wearing, like I do with Sizzle Chest!!

(You can tell it`s winter in Wisconsin and cold outside, as Captain Obvious has nothing better to do that to look at posts in this detailing forum and reply with"unintelligent" remarks and comments about detailers clothing and personal characteristics, not mention the more-than-occasional-sometimes-related-detailing-question. Hope for warmer weather here so I can go outside, wash my car, and not bother my fellow Autopians or make them smile or laugh as they read this!)

Yes, I believe he was very happy!

The HRL75 cradle I made and the RUPES HLR75 Trigger Lock make a great combo!

I`m not sure if M101 has been discontinued here is the USA...but I have a small "stash" that I use for correction.
I don`t use M101 on all corrections. Sometimes I use Rupes Blue and other times...I use what the paint likes.

I use a iPhone 12 pro with a gimbal for the videos.
For the pics I use an inexpensive Nikon Dslr.
