    After a good long while polishing with an orange pad and a mixture of PG and IP, then treated to FP I decided to once again go with FMJ.



    I layed down 2 layers but I don`t really like the layering deal. It just didn`t seem to sit well.

    Of course, could a post ever be complete without a hood shot?

    Last up is a beautiful red Modena. I polished this out with my cyclo and a Hi-Temp product called "Medium Cut".



    This is a bit more aggressive than Light Cut and it works very nice. Works the paint well (I have not yet tried it with a rotary), very little dusting and no probem wiping off. I will put this up against DACP in the near future.



    After the Med. Cut I went to FP and then AIO. The topper was FMJ

    Damn, they both look nuts. M3`s in general are just yummy :drool



    I see you have become a big fan of FMJ. In your eyes, how would you compare it to Wolfgang?

    I can`t say just how much I dig the FMj, I know it costs an arm and a leg but to me it is worth every penny.



    It gives a very nice carnauba look......"sparkling".....is the word I am looking for

    I have not had much of a chance to use the Wolfgang. We used it the other day ona white Lexus but no pics It was VERY slick, easy on and easy off.



    I am doing a VW "Toureg" (sp?)......tomorrow and I have decided to use the WG on it. I`ll post pics and my thoughts.



    here is a profile pic of the Modena



    Thanks Sean:xyxthumbs

    Anthony, just curious, why the AOI under FMJ? Did the AOI add something extra?



    Love the shine by the way. Nice work as always.

    Terrific work as always, Anthony! I notice you do the same as me....several product combinations! I`m glad I am not the only one experimenting in search of the perfect finish for every color!



    How is the FMJ holding up? I know you haven`t had it a real long time, but how is the slickness, beading/or sheeting at this point?

    I love the AIO when as a base when using a carnauba paste wax or sealant, like UPP or FMJ, because it adds great color. Makes blacks blacker and reds redder. It deepens the colors and gives it a nice wet look.



    I am using the WG tomorrow and most likely not the AIO as a base.



    Thaks for liking the cars

    Thanks Scott,



    So far it is holding up great. I put it on a MB hood of a client that is a weekly washer side by side with WG and they both beaded up great, washed off great and dried well for 3 weeks. Then I mistakenly had my assistant re-wax the car its fourth wash with VM.



    It always gets VM every fourth week and I forgot about the sealants on the hood. My assistant said the VM just would not wipe of from being on top of the sealants. So I guess they were both still going strong



    I am not crazy about the Sealer Glaze though.



    Adios,

    Anthony

    Incredible, unbeliaveable!!!



    Terrific job, man!



    I love how those car ended. I am looking for the perfect shine also.



    I basically have one problem, in Europe is quite difficult to get those products/combos. We have to purchase them in USA.





    Could you recommend me one single place where to buy all products?. We need to reduce the high shipping+customs expences.
    Enjoy life!! and your car
