I must say this thing looks sweet! I've done a good amount of combos and this is by far the best looking. I've tried numerous products to get rid of my swirls and such with little luck (1ZPP, SSR 2.5, etc)



My combo:

QEW

3M PI-III RC - LC Yellow

3M FI-II - LC White

UPP - LC Gray



I am extremely pleased with the compound, it got about 98% of the swirls/scratches out. The FI-II was a great product but I have AIO and #80 on order so I probably won't need to use it again, and the UPP is great stuff!



The pics do not do it justice, but you get the idea! Enjoy!

Thanks for looking, Steve.
 
Yeh tell me about it :(



It's OK tho b/c everytime I saw it in the paint I would get upset, now I'm happy:)



And forgive my picture-taking skills, I seem to have the polishing down but still can't take good pictures?!?!
 
3M Finesse It II...more specifically I believe it was called 3M FI-II Finishing Product. It was borrowed from a friend b/c I needed some sort of polish to use between the compound and sealent. I'm not exactly sure what it is, it mentioned compund on the bottle but was not aggressive and left a haze-free slick finish...maybe someone can chime in on the details of it. The results were great but like I said I have some other products on the way so I probably won't need that stuff anymore.





Thanks for the compliments, it means a lot. I'm blown away everytime I go out and look at it :)
 
SilverLexus: Thanks for the comliments! I would love to enter into the contest and maybe win some free stuff but I don't think this qualifies because there was nothing extreme about the interior, just really really poorly cared for paint!
 
wonderful job!! no use being modest... you got it ...flaunt it. a piece of work like that is awesome!!!



and if that is not good picture taking give me some of that bad stuff...

please!!!!
 
WOW.

I believe there are three separate categories for the contest. One category being exterior only. You could enter that. Good luck :xyxthumbs
 
Thanks for the tip and the kind words, I'll look into the contest and try to get some better pics.



Thanks again for the recognition everyone, that's what makes it all worth it!
 
That is scary how similar that black paint looks like my black 626...also topped with UPP!



Really good job on the detail, absolutely massive improvement! :bow
 
sorry if i missed it but you're using the pc for this...I have black dodge paint also on my SRT-4 and that looks like an incredible combo.

What speeds are you using pc or otherwise?

:bow
 
Thanks again for the praise everyone.



Scott: I've seen pics of your car but you have used soooo many combos I wouldn't know what one to compare it to;)



srtchad: I did use a PC for every step:

All Lake county pads

Compound: Yellow @ speed 6

Polish: White @ speed 5

LSP: Grey/Black @ speed 4 or 3, i don't look at the number I can tell by the sound/speed of it. It is definitely in the 3-4 range though.



Keep in mind these are the final speeds, I start at a much slower speed to work it in and spread it around;)
