Car looks fantastic Rasky!! I like that you used the 105/205 combo on this one, I am almost definitely going to that combo for all/most of my future details. Were you using the kevin brown method? Im picking up some 205 and a PC this weekend, cant wait for detailfest and the megs class!

Thanks Billy!



Isn't the Kevin Brown method using M105 and a DA?



I worked the M105 @ around 1200-1400 RPM's....maybe a little slower with the W7006 pad. I started off applying medium/heavy pressure and then backed off on the pressure after a few passes. This was with the new DA version of M105 BTW. I used the zenith point technique with the M205 for both the polishing and finishing steps. Typically I would have used my FLEX for the final step, but for some reason M205 was not working well with a DA on this paint. This was actually the first time I have seen this with M205. The paint was VERY hard, but it seemed to scratch very easy....similar to the newer Corvette paints.





20 Days to DF!!!! Woo Hoo! :woohoo:
 
I went back and got some better full sun shots today. The owner said this car does not have the L88 427 in it...though he does have one sitting in a crate. ;)

Seen your posts on autogeek as well as mol, great correction btw. I have only used 205 while rotary finishing, then move to a glaze with the Flex da right before lsp.



205 is so easy to use and wipe off.

Wow, nice shots! If he has an all original L-88 in a crate it's worth big $$:shocked



Damn I miss my '69 L-88!!

Thanks!



I think he said the car would be worth mid 200's if it had the L88 originally...



So what makes the L88 so much better than the 427 it came with? Is it just the 4 bolt main?
