However, your work on this 328 is absolutely stunning.

Hats off to you. Really good job.
Man, that is a very kind thing to say. Thank you, I do appreciate it. I wanted to show the power of the Flex too in my writeup.

Thank you for the kind words. They actually wanted to help with the wheels, but between stinky IronX and unsafe-to-breathe Zep Purple, I didn't allow it. That's why I smoke a cigar when doing the wheels, LOL.

Thank you very much. I always spend a long time on the wheels. I think they really make the car when they jump.

How many hours was involved?
Thank you. I quoted her 11 hours, but, truth be told, I had 12 hours into the car by the time I did the tires, UWW wipedown, etc. I even put a sealant on her plates before re-installing them.

Thanks very much. I was planning on using the DG squeaky clean paint cleaner (and in fact I did use it on the hood to double check the correction I was getting to make sure it was true) but didn't have the time to do the whole car with it.

So if you use 105, then hyper polish, the hyper polish cleans all the oil 105 has to make the paint ready for OC?

Also what soap do you use when you foam it?

I don't think it works like that. Either the OP removed the oils of 105 before hyper polish or after hyper polish, but as far as I know, hyper polish will not take out oils from m105 off the car.

I follow M105 up with Opt Hyper Polish. As far as I am concerned, the HP would remove any oils in M105 (which is not as bad as M205) and that is followed by an ONR wipedown. In some cases, I do a paint cleansing stage after polishing, and did so for the hood of this vehicle just to check the validity of the correction. That's the advantage to using an Optimum polish as the last step: easier surface prep for OG.

I had listed it I thought...a mix of DG 901 and Dawn.

M105 is not an oily compound as far as I'm concerned. I followed it up with DG squeaky clean to ensure that there was nothing masking the true correction on the hood. It did not show anything, therefore I know the process was valid.

Bill, I used OG, which is short for Optimum's Opti Guard, which is the professional version of OC.
