Looks like you had great results on the '57 Mike!

Looks like a very promising product. Lots of quality compounds hitting the market right now...

Wonder what it would do with a MF pad. FG400 is on my wish list!

Nice job! I do love a Belair - particularly the Nomad.

Hope the customer likes how the EXO works.

Waiting on reviews.

Most of the vehicles that I work on have repainted and OEM panels, looking forward to reviews pertaining to this issue.

Judging by the sweat, it appears that Mike was working just as hard as the product.

Very cool. Just a coincidence for sure but I do love Shoebox Chevies...

Thank you sir! And "yes" a lift makes it so much easier on the person and that makes it better for the car.

Thank you. I'm anxious to try the new FG 400 out on some other paint systems also...

Yes it came out very good but the key was to first do a Test Spot. I teach this in all my classes, I educate others on its importance in the forum world and I walk the talk in the real world.

How To Do a Test Spot

I've seen more new products and better technology introduced to the car detailing and body shop world in the last 3-5 years than over the rest of my life in this industry. These new products and new technology make it easier and faster for anyone to get professional grade results.

A person now needs less skill, experience and talent than ever before and that's a good thing considering how thin factory paint is on new cars.

FG 400 has a long buffing cycle and that is usually KEY for working well with microfiber pads. So far I'm liking microfiber pads with thicker foam backing than the thinner backing as it improves buffing characteristics, at least with rotary buffers and the Flex 3401.

Nice job! I do love a Belair - particularly the Nomad.

Hope the customer likes how the EXO works.

I just might have a Nomad coming up... stay tuned...

My guess is this new FG 400 Compound is a global formula meaning it's been designed to work on all paint systems in as many climatic environments as is possible to design into a formula and thus will work well on both factory paints and re-paints.

Once I start I never stop, that is I don't take breaks, if anything I eat a sandwich while working...

Detailing cars is hard work, it requires a person to be in good physical shape. You need good upper body strength as well as good lower body strength and it's important to wear good shoes, at least to me. My choice is always Nike Air Mid-tops. Air cushion support and mid-tops provide more stability for your ankles. I would take a high-top over a low-top any day.
