Wow, I'm really surprised too!
No comments...guess it has to be a porsche or lambo to be worthy. In actuality, this was probably a lot more work! Great job! So you used a PC rather than rotary to correct this paint?
How do you get the foam to not run off the car? I recently bought a gilmore foam gun, but the foam doesn't sit and agitate...it kinda runs off the car. Maybe it's the type of soap I'm using.

the gilmour is a great tool to throw soap on the car and speed up your process, however it won't generate a foam like one that comes out of a pressure washer.
thanks for the feedback.
