    People ask me the same kinds of things..

    ‘How do you mow those stripes in?’

    Re: Full paint motorhome polish

    On this one I did 3D One on wool and then 3D Speed on foam.

    This was black though. Any other color you could probably get away with 3D Speed on wool with forced orbital. Regular DA will work, but...

    Re: How many coating bottlws to coat this?

    I guarantee I could throw down one coat with one 30ml.

    Re: List your coating that failed!

    User error is always the reason for ‘failed’ coatings.

    It’s like painting a car and it fish eyes, and then you blame the paint.

    The only fix is to replace it.
