hello guys, i figured i would post outside my regular hhr thread i got going on and share with you this recent job i did. first of all, i want to thank my buddy and forum member frankS for sending business my way. he called me today telling me that he couldnt make it from west palm beach to miami to do a job and was nice enough to pass it along to me.
it's a brand new volvo that had two medium size glob of thick paint on the hood. before they called me they had tried everything, gasoline, different type of scrubbing techniques. anyways, here are the pics of how i found the hood.

i tried the least aggressive method.. using nano skin pad, and that didnt work.. i moved up to a polish and a polishing pad.. and that didnt work.. i decided to go with 6.5 megs mf cutting pad and megs 101 compound.. and after a couple of passes with my rupes this seemed to work very well. after the paint was removed.. i followed up with a blue buff and shine pad with hd speed (aio) and to put the icing on the cake i used optimum opti seal with a finishing pad.. and these were my results.
