Look great! How's the 105/OP mix? I know Picus mixes EC/OP alot - I'm guessing 105 is much more aggressive.

M105, in its pure form, flashes very quickly. A little bit of OP will slow down that process and allow it to work a little bit more and consequently, a little more cut and a nice finish. It is also much, *much* easier to use than Menzerna Powergloss.
 
Great work guys!

M105 cuts hard but has a very short working time before it will flash. OC or OP can extend the working time while keeping most of the M105 power working.



EDIT: ya beat me to it! I'm too slow.
 
Cars look awesome... so the black/106ff combo cleans up pretty nicely after 105/pwf and ip/pwf? I think I'm going to start using black pads a lot for finishing instead of white.
