White Mach 1 Finished Between Storms

Absolutely crummy weather this weekend, but I decided to try a customer's 03 Mach between storms. Got it washed while it was raining (no biggie with that), then garaged for Cyclo work. DACP on Orange pads got rid some light swirling, followed by AIO on White pads. Finally, put a nice, even coat of Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant (my favorite for cars that are driven or outside).

I actually managed to get finished, the customer came to the house, drove it home and beat the next storm by minutes.

White is really tough to show a pretty finish during a cloudy, hazy day. If I knew anything about photography, I'd shoot this car at night.

Oh well, tomorrow is a Black Cobra convert...that'll show well.



Another shot with some partial sun...



The best compliment I've gotten was from his wife. When he got home, she said the bright white hurt her eyes! Now, that's a compliment.

Later folks. Hopefully the storms will subside.

Toto

Nice job. Looks good. So you used WDGS on top of the AIO? I have got to get some AIO. Seems to be used for everything.

In this case, why did you choose that combo?

Send some of the rain south! Please!!

Yep: I like to use #83 or the XMT product line, followed by AIO, followed by Wolfgang. I think the AIO shows any further paint correction you might need and imparts a very high gloss. The WDGS is easier than the Klasse SG product to apply/remove and the protection is the same IMO.

I hope you folks in TX get some of this wet stuff...I have a Black Cobra to do tomorrow and it's not looking too promising.

See Ya...Toto
