    Great job! I would've thought you would've needed to do a 2nd step with 4000 or 4500.

    And the difference when using a dslr really does show.

    Thanks Greg. I was getting FG400 to finish out very well.

    I am now in the market for a quality dslr.

    I am now learning that after seeing the pictures from 530inv.

    Good dslr needed for sure.

    Would iron x affect the sticker that's on my door if I spray iron x all over my door? Here's a pic of another car with the same sticker.


    Or I could try iron x paste for the doors and regular iron x on the wheels.

    Nevermind. I found my answer in another post. It shouldn't affect stickers or clear bras. But I won't spray it directly on the sticker. Just around it and spread with a sponge.

    Absolutely Fantastic Mike!!

    -Once again I'm in awe of what you accomplish with FG400.
    Not that I'll ever be able to do the same...But I must get some.

    -Excellent OC 2.0 application...
    The outstanding gloss it imbues on this "white" vehicle should halt folks...
    (who are incredulous and that would say otherwise)...in their tracks.

    Thanks for sharing.

    One more question. This is base housing? Those homes look good for being on a base. I remember the base housing on hawaii and it wasnt even close to being that nice.

    I keep changing my mind about how to go about polishing my car. You saw it. I dont think fg400 is necessary like the car you just did. I think power finish 2500 or final polish 3000 as a one step is all I need on the blue hybrid pad you recommended. And 4000 might be too tame.

    From reading the description about 3000, I think that's what I'm looking for. "Use Menzerna Final Finish on brand new paint finishes or on vehicles in like-new condition. This is an excellent gloss-enhancing finishing polish to remove old wax, deepen the gloss, and remove minor swirls and imperfections prior to wax application."

    But 2500 says "Menzerna Power Finish PO 203 is made for the OEM market as a quick way to polish out light flaws and amplify the paint’s gloss. It has the cutting ability just a step below Super Intensive. This will remove moderate to mild swirls, water spots, and light scratches. Then Menzerna Power Finish PO 203 does something amazing – it burnishes the paint to an ultra high gloss, like you’d expect from Nano Polish. For busy detailers, Menzerna Power Finish PO 203 saves time and money by doing the work of two products."

    Too many tough decisions!
