Didn't get pictures, the owner was kind enough to take some today and forward them to me.



ONR wash, Opti-Raser mild to clay

Opti-Coat primer using a test 5" orange foam waffle pad (from Optimum) using my Rupes 21 DA polisher

ONR wash

Optimum Coating on the paint and wheels

Opti-Glass on the windshield

Armor All on tire/wheel wells



Car looked more root beer colored to me yesterday but with the amount of flake in the paint, I guess the color depends on the light.

Excellent as usual, Scott!



is it just me, or does the front end of the MKZ remind anybody of a cat?

 

[Scottwax]

That or eagle wings. Very distinctive looking car.

The rear is kind of new, something I haven't seen before.

Nice work as always guys! How is the paint Scott? Soft or Hard? Got one coming up.

Tim, the paint isn't particularly hard. The black plastic on the trunk lid (you'll know what I mean when you see it) and top of the trunk had some light holograms and the Rupes, test foam orange waffle cutting pad and Opti-Coat Primer removed them. I'm sure it would be similarly easy with your Flex.

Thanks Scott. The owner has the same holograms in the truck area. He told me that's all but will see.
