    Had a idea and felt like trying something creative lol....

    Used my automotive paint gun to apply Built Hamber auto foam and think it worked really good. Layed a perfectly uniform wet film over the entire car then I drove it to the car wash.

    Would highly recommend trying for anyone with a compressor who wants to apply a automotive soap efficiently.

    I have both a hvlp and lvlp paint gun and used my lvlp for this. If anyone wants to try it I think Harbor Freight sells a lvlp paint gun for cheap that will work.

    So what was your mix in the gun? Straight AF or cut with water?

    Ive seen videos of folks using a cheap mini hvlp gun for appyling tire sheen

    Saw this Commodore walking the dogs tonight, I noticed there was something different from about 200 metres away. It did have a front plate, but I wiped it. The owner ordered the paint from Japan, it's called Musou Black, it absorbs over 99% of visible light. No polishing, no waxing.

    The only thing the owner succeeded in doing there is making the whole thing look like the clear has failed.

    The picture doesn't show it, but the effect was uneven. Parts of the roof and hood were definitely not absorbing the light like other parts, not shiny, but still obvious.
