Very nice!
Isn't it so cool to work on unique cars?

Most certainly !
I love working on the body lines of stuff like this but it is also very cool looking at some of the 70+ year old engineering in some of this stuff.

What a cool car!
Love the paint color and the reflection shots of the clouds. That paint looks outstanding!
Nice work, thanks for sharing

Awesome work! That color combined with the white walls just does it for me, very classy.
BTW how do you like the Ultracut compared to something like 3D ACA 500?

I have not had a chance to use the Ultra Cut with a rotary yet but on the da it cuts just as well if not better and finishes down much nicer.
Ultra cut is seriously impressive and as of right now prefer it over Menz. 400 and Sonax Cutmax also. Cuts much better and actually finishes down better. They nailed it with that compound
This weekend I will do a comparison between ACA 500 and Ultracut on the rotary and post back here

Sorry it took a bit longer longer to reply to this but here is what I got for ya...
Recently had a freshly painted project that customer wanted some serious orange peel wet sanded out of so I was able to compare Carpro Ultracut vs 3d ACA 500
On a rotary I love both those products but 3d ACA 500 was better in every way. Really was not even close as far as cut. Both had similar working times and Ultracut finished down a tit better but you would be obviously cleaning both up for both leave holograms so that is a moot point.
On the FLEX Supa BEAST the 3d ACA cut better but finishes down mediocre at best compared to Ultracut which cut very well and finishes down absolutley stunning considering the amount of cut and that it's a compound.
Short answer...
On a da I would put Carpro Ultracut with Sonnax Cutmax and Menzerna 400 with Ultracut cutting better than both and finishing down every bit as nice as Cutmax but not quite as well as Menzerna 400.
1. Carpro Ultracut
2. Sonax Cutmax
3. Menzerna 400
Using a rotary, Carpro Ultracut was a VERY nice compound but definitely falls short of 3d ACA 500 which has set the bar pretty high imo and is still my go to for rotary cutting.

You just earn this patch...

Ya, I can definitely see that.
I really enjoy cutting with a rotary. I personally find cutting with a free spinning da a bit bland. Getting into this forced rotation FLEX has definitely given me a new love for polishing, both cutting and finishing.
