Less than 20oz.

We were spreading it pretty thin, because that is the way it is supposed to be done, so it hazed quickly. Since the working area was so large we could start working in one area and then finish maybe a 4X4 secton and start wiping off where we started, by the time we go to the other end it had set. Plus M20 has next to no residue that needed to be remove, which I think Carlos and I both loved!

That plane looks good Carlos. Here's a tidbit that I remember, when I first came on AGOL there was a member with an airplane detailing business. Can't remember who. He was going to do a business jet the next day (for about three days) inside and out. OK hang on to your seat, charge $3000. Pretty sure that # is right. I'll try to look it up now and change if it isn't.

Thank you for the compliment.
HAha, I bet you guys wanted to fall down when you realized the bottom of the wing had to be done

Jimmie - yea there are a few places that I phoned and that price is about right. I can see why though. To do an airplane (even a small one like the one we did) takes lots of time. sneek was telling me that even for a wash for an airplane (like the one we did) is about $200 to $300 just for a wash. I can totally see airplane detailing is a ca$h cow but it's a lot of work, but then again the more airplanes you do the more experiance you get and the fater you get. Beeing the first airplane that sneek and I had ever done I think we did okay, maybe the next one would be better timing and results. The biggest thing is re-seraching the products, I had no clue what to use so I just made a bunch of phone calls and got recomendations. I wouldn't mind doing another one or perhaps having a second go at the same plane, but next time do it in two days.

David - thank you for the compliment, very much appretiated.

SiliconX - Yea sneek and I had a blast, tired at the end but it was so much fun.

kluymzypinoy - Yup, the first wing was bad enough the second one was kinda odd becuase I didn't feel it as much...hahaha maybe by then I had lots all feeling in my arms hahahahaha...just kidding it just took some will power and some elbow power . But boy was I glad sneek came with me, it was a really good tagteam he was on the top of the wing and I was on the bottom.

I bet your arms would just flop if you did that plane by yourself
