Awesome work and write up and pictures as always Justin!

Nice to see the difference between the products used on the different vehicals. Just shows it`s very dependant on the vehical you are going to be working on. When it`s but in the same thread like this.

How do you like the McKees 37 foam pads? From the looks of them and the colors. They looks very a like the Scholl ECOFIX foam pads line.

Always top notch work and write ups!

Thanks Tony. I really like the orange medium pad and the black finishing pad. I have found the black finish pad works killer on the rotary with low speed.

Justins00ss:
Seems you are using the IGL F1 polish a lot. How does this compare with other polishes?

On the Raptor, your blue painter`s tape job is outstanding, so straight and neat without kinks. (Please do not laugh. My tape jobs look a like a BAD 1st-grader`s art class project.) I assume this was done because of the use a microfiber pad for correction and you did not want to scuff the plastic trim.

On the 06 Mustang GT, what did you use to clean and protect the convertible top material? I assume this was a cloth/fabric type material and not vinyl. Do not see you mention using the Flex rotary much for detailing many of the vehicles you do, but I assume for jeweling/burnishing, it is the THE tool to use for that process (along with the skill set you have to use such a polisher). Have you ever used McKee`s 37 Jeweling Polish/Wax?? I also assume the Hyper Polish mentioned is by Optimum Polymer Technology (OPT).

(Captain Obvious, you do a lot of "assuming"! or as they say, "Assume makes an A$$ out of U and ME.")

Yeah I actually just started trying IGL F1. So far I like it. Pretty versatile compound.

As for the tape job. Yes your correct in that I didn`t want to scuff the trim.

Oops! The top wasn`t dirty. Just got a wipe down and then sprayed with IGL fabric coating. It was a vinyl top not fabric.

And yes I really like Mckees Mckees jeweling wax but seeing as this was being coated opt Hyper polish was the ticket.
