I just did a white 2019 Acura RDX. The young lady said it looked better than when she bought it. She had told her brother, "it's new...how bad could it be?' - Well, she was amazed by how it turned out.

Thanks for the write-up. And the tons of pics. Helps out a ton (I was just re-reading your Blackfire coating thread).

Re: Dirty Girl - Extreme Maserati Makeover!
I think I'll stick w/ the cord vs. 6x $114 batteries (and the $500 for the new FLEX unit)
Your mileage may vary.

Huh?
I used 2 batteries.
As I drained one battery, I placed it on the charger and swapped in the fully charged batter.
Used 3 battery CHARGES total. And there was still power left when I was on my third charge.
My guess is you were looking at the batteries I had in the background, I didn't use them, should have moved them out of the shot. I have about 16 total cordless FLEX tools here in the garage, so I have a lot of batteries.
In the real world, you only need 2 batteries. As you drain one battery down, slap it into the charger and put the charged battery into the tool. If you're a worry-wart, get a third battery and never worry.
Sorry for any confusion Howard.

Re: Dirty Girl - Extreme Maserati Makeover!
Here's a video I just shot after wiping off the polish.
Note the clock says 3:00pm. That's not the "time" it's to show how many hours I'm into this project. I compounded the entire car, headlights, glass, b-pillars and tail lights in less than 3 hours. I teach techniques in my classes that show you how to get the paint correction step done as fast as humanly possible so you can move onto the next step.
Here's the walk-around video. This is JUST polished. So basically naked paint.
>>>click on the image<<<
Going to wash my hands, put on some gloves and then chemically strip the paint. As I say in the video above, when you're doing this type of work you need LOTS of clean, UN-CONTMINATED microfiber towels.
It takes hours to buff out a car... only seconds to put scratches back into the paint -Mike Phillips
How, why & when to inspect your microfiber towels when detailing cars

Re: Dirty Girl - Extreme Maserati Makeover!
You're correct. My mistake.
>> I noticed that you basically only taped the sunroof and the side mirrors, why was that? <<
