Wow, car looked pretty good as it.was, now it is just ridiculous.
What a beauty , you and the guys did a great job Mike.
Did you use #7 first as usual Mike? I know that its an important step for oxidized single stage, But the car had some gloss when it came in, Did you approach it differently?

Actually, the day it arrived it was cloudy outside so I wasn't able to photograph the true condition of the paint. BEFORE we started I did take pictures of the swirls using the FLEX Swirl Finder Light and I'll post those as soon as I get time.
I also used the Defelsko Paint Thickness Gauge to take measurements of the paint thickness over the various horizontal panels.

Teamwork got the job done. We did use the Griot's 6" DA Polisher with Wolfgang Uber Compound and get this.... Lake Country white foam POLISHING pads, not cutting pads.

You guessed it.
We machine applied #7 AFTER the last machine polishing step and then applied Wolfgang Fuzion.
I'll explain why when I get back to this thread but right now I need to do some work for Velocity TV.

Believe me that car came out great.I love it when only a small amount of experienced guys show up to do these small cars.Nobody`s tripping over each other and we work well together.As an added bonus there`s more pizza to go around as well.

Car looks so good in person, I don't think pictures actually do justice to it...and it was pleasure to work with.

I agree. The pictures don't do the results justince and working on single stage paint is my favorite.
It's about 7:00am Saturday morning as I type this and the car is on display in the Show Car Garage for this morning's Tech Session at Autogeek's Cars & Coffee show.
