    Mike is measuring the paint thickness with the Defelsko PosiTest DFT Combo Electronic Paint Thickness Gauge

    A post-it note is about 3 mils thick - the paint on Tim's car is reading 2-3 mils in some areas. Remember, always use the least aggressive method to remove swirls and scratches.

    When you have half a dozen guys claying a car at the same time it doesn't take long!

    Now the guys are taping off the trim for the machine polishing step.

    Mike is playing it safe by taping off the edges of the hood. The paint on this '57 Chevy is thin, thin, thin!

    Let the machine polishing begin! The first step is Pinnacle Advanced Swirl Remover - a medium cut polish that finishes exceptionally well for the amount of cut it has.
