I really liked:

Using the surf city grime destroyer as a post polish pre wash agent
adding the prep sol to the foam cannon for the post polish wash
the great leveling ability of wool
the ease of on and off of Ez-Crème
the ease of on and off off Supernatural
The great look of Supernatural

No before pictures – I had plans to go to diner and the movies and was pressed for time and I had to drive - so these pics are about 30 miles post detail.

As you will see the sun was no where to be found

Got Flake?

 

Looks great.

I am curious why you used the Megs 105 and Menz SIP together. The Meg 105 is supposed to finish down very well with the new type of abrasives. Did you notice some marring after the Megs 105?

 

Good work as usual.

BTW.... how do you like the new tires?

 

Silver loks good! With so much attention, before pics would have been sweet! How did you like the 105? I heard its a love it/hate it product as it flashes rather quickly, making it difficult to use.

 

Thanks,

The 105 took care of the majority of the inclusions - I was expirimenting with the 105 and flex (even though it was formulated for rotary use).

I was very happy with the results but just wanted to finish perfect so I stepped down to SIP and then nano to bring it to the next level

 

Thanks

I LOVE the new rims and rubber!!

I actually think my ride is smoother now as compared to the 16" stock I had... My son agrees... A tad bit more noise on surface streets as compared to the Continental Pro Contact I had before but I am sure only would notice

 

Thanks Patrick!

I really need to stay cognizant of taking before pictures - I used to be very good at it but I have slacked as of late...

I liked M105.. keep in mind I used it with the Flex.. I was getting about a 30 second work time.. the ambient temp was mid 60's and brezzy so I think that helped.
