holy crap, 25hrs!! you could stick a fork in me, cause I would be done son!! Looks amazing though. I see you used a sponge for the APC for the interior, is that 10:1 or 4:1? what is your process of taking the apc off the interior, just wiping with another towel? Once again, killer work yo!

Amazing work!



What pad and speed did you use for the Megs #21? Did the pad keep using a lot of product or did a little go a long way?

 

[heli]

speed 4 , with the pc and a black LC CCS pad for the Meg.#21, and a little go a long way



apc ist 1:10 and wipe down with mft



thanks for the nice comments

Wunderbar! Am vorzüglichsten! :goodjob That interior detail brush was interesting, too. Can you share the manufacturer and where you got it? Glad to see another Meg's 83/21 user. :up

So you polished/cut with PC/M83 and finished with rotary/85rd? First time I see that haha



Very long work time but great turn around!

Results are stunning.



Would you mind sharing some info on your LED lighting setup? Looks like it works extremely well in showing swirls?



TIA,

my experience is, if the surroundings is very dark and only one light (equal if you use halogen or led, i use both) focus on the paint is the most effective in showing swirls
