Been a while for me! A few cars! 56K no way

[EBPcivicsi]

First up is a 06 (I think) Porsche that was recently purchased. The owner wanted the paint to be corrected, the interior cleaned, and quite a few areas covered with paint protection film.



Here’s what I was dealing with:

The car had mainly minor marring with a few deeper RIDS here and there�there was also quite a bit of water-spotting.



We used the following to correct the paint:

Meguiars #105 via flex, speed 6/orange pad

Menzerna PO106FF G100 speed 6/LC LP white pad

Meguiars #16

OCW

We also used ONR to wash the car after #105



We removed the rear taillights in order to tuck in the paint protection film�full rear was protected!

Here is a shot of the front fender�we covered the full front fenders in clear bra!

Front bumper, lights, fogs, and 22� up the hood are all covered in paint protection film,

This BMW needed full correction inside and out—sorry no befores, but it was *hammered*!



We used 105/rotary wool

SIP rotary green pad/1500

FPII G110 spped 6/LC LP white

M21



We sued ONR in between steps

Here is a black Mustang GT that we did—really cool car. The owner has basically converted the exterior to look like a GT500.



We used 105/flex/orange pad

106FF G110/spped 6/white LC LP pad

M21



Again we used ONR between steps

This 09 Max was actually only washed once by the dealer and they did a pretty good job. We just cleaned up the minor marring (believe it or not) with PO106FF and sealed it with Collinite 476s.

He asked for a sticker!

nice work! I am a mustang man at heart, but that Maxima looks great!

 

[Bigpoppa3346]

Nice, I love the looks of those new Maximas.



I'm guessing people in Memphis like big rims, eh?

What color is that BMW, looks like a dark grey metalic turning into black

[Insert usual :bow regading ebpcivicsi 's work here...]



Yikes, that PPF job on the Porsche must've been even tougher than the one you did for me!



The M105/Flex combo works well, huh? And I see you're still using 476S Is the 106FF behaving better these days?



You know you're doing something right when a customer asks for a sticker, huh?

 

[jimmie jam]

It was *really* tough! What's worse is that he stopped by two days ago--someone backed into it and I have redo the job! :hairpull I really don't mind though--it was a unique challenge.



The M105 FLEX combo has been amazing for me/us. Sure it takes a little longer, but no messy cleanup and very little taping--not to mention some of the inherent dangers of using a rotary are all but gone. I am not saying that the rotary isn't the tool of choice when you are dealing with serious paint correction, but the flex is certainly a tool that has a place in our arsenal. I can pretty much turn anyone loose on the flex with a little training and they can acheive fantastic results without the danger of burning paint(not that it can't happen with the flex, but..).



About the 476s--the same can!!! I am so glad that you turned me on to that!



I just do IPA wipedpwns with the PO106FF, we also wash the paint with a strong solution of ONR after the IPA. I still like the product, but plan on switching to FPII after my last 10oz is gone. Honestly, I hope that M205 will put an end to all of it--locally available, cheaper, etc. I can't see why Meguiars couldn't do it, 105 finishes so well that a final polish based upon the same technology just has to be good.





lostdaytomorrow, yep it's 35% on the windshield--real common around here.



zxpwr, nope it's factory paint. It's probably just the angle/clouds. :nixweiss
