The wheels look insane....

How did you decide one FCC and a MF pad for a one step ?
How many passes did you do ?

I'm asking because I used FCC for the 1st time this past weekend via a rupes yellow pad and it was difficult to remove.

Thanks in advance !

With this combo, haze is there, you just cant see it with the naked eye. If Justin were to follow with a polish, I doubt you would see much difference. Light metallics do a great job masking haze. Take this car with same clear and a black basecoat, you would see noticeable haze.

Nice job as usual, Justin!

FCC seems to be weather dependent as far as ease of removal. What were your weather conditions?

Thanks Mark. You hit the nail on the head. With this color combo it's a bit more forgiving on the finish left while compounding.

Yeah during hotter and higher humidity it can be a little tougher to remove. The conditions were cooler around 40-50 deg and it wiped off nicely. As always you don't need much once the pad is primed
