The owner left this car with me while they went on vacation. It was really nice having the extra time and being able to work on it for just a few hours a day, rather than spending one full tiring day with it. This car was a respray with very soft clear.
I used a few products new to me on this detail. First was the LC foamed wool pad. I really like this pad for compounding. I had been using regular foam cutting pads, but never really liked how stiff they were. I found the foamed wool pad much easier to work with and got some really nice results. There were some holograms after compounding, but that was expected. They cleaned up easily with the finish polish. I have no idea if this pad would work with the PC, but if you're using a rotary it's a great pad.
I also tried the Menzerna pro line for the first time. I'd used IP and FPII in the past, but was never really impressed by them. But the Powergloss, SIP, and PO106FF worked very well - corrected quickly and removed very easily. My only complaint was the dusting. I've become spoiled by the minimal dusting of the Optimum lineup.
