Thanks! What did a job like this cost? ( est is fine ) I'm just curios. It is also why my car will never be loaned out!

please email me for a quote.

Great work.
By the way, that "friend" is a complete ******.. Who would make that much of a mess of someone's car? Unbelievable! |
Great Job...
WOW |
thanks!
|
Phil...beautiful job!
What made you choose Meguiars M105 instead of the standard PowerGloss + SIP + PO85RD combination? Just wondering how you decide. |
I believe this is the first post we have used with M105. however we have used it in other jobs before and its a good product as you can see.
this car needed cut so that's another reason we used it. |
So to clarify, you could jump from M105 directly to a finishing polish like PO85RD? I usually have to go PowerGloss then SIP, then PO85RD.

are you using a rotary? if you are using a pc I would say stick to 3 steps.
|
Flex orital. But I think I understand what you are saying in terms of cutting power.
Thanks. |
