A couple M105 rescue jobs!

[Presidential_Detail]

I must say I was a bit nervous once I saw this thing coming down my street! I had never detailed anything of this size EVER! And it was my second truck since Ive started. I just had to come up with a game plan and go at it section by section, including climbing on top of the 37" tires and eventually I got it all done and it came out great! I think I got the best correction on this truck than I have on any other vehicle so far, it came out literally FLAWLESS thanks to M105! It helps that it was in excellent shape minus all the years of swirling/hazing that comes with a black vehicle that hasn't been up kept..ENJOY!

Re: A couple M105 rescue jobs!

This is Matts G35 from Hornblasters.com. Ive known Matt for several years now, I had a train horn kit on my old Ranger and ever since it was stolen Ive always wanted another set! Well, me and Matt crossed paths a few months ago and we traded out some services, Presidential Detail for TRAIN HORNS! Now I definitely had my work cut out for me, and I knew this from day one when I saw the car at a local meet. It was BAD! This car USED to be black, before I got ahold of it! Well Ill let you guys see the difference yourselves!

Re: A couple M105 rescue jobs!

This was a friend of mine who just picked this car up from a local Ford Dealer. I honestly do not know how their detail department gets away with putting out this kind of work! This car was in the worse condition out of ALL the cars I have done so far..keep in mind this is Ford paint..its moderately hard. Also keep in mind this was 1 WEEK AFTER Ford detailed it..

Id also like to mention that this was my first time using M105, I dont think a polish/compound can get any better than this! Most of the reviews say its got a learning curve, maybe I just did enough research before I tried using it. this stuff is no joke, it literrally removes ALL defects in 20-30 seconds whereas SIP/PFW would have taken atleast 3-5 minutes! It would have taken 4 passes to do what I did with M105 twice to get the same results...I have definitely found my new favorite!

Now in the halogens.. :ignore:

Hood..


Front Fender..


Front Fender..


Door..


Rear Fender..




50/50 with SIP/PFW..not quite enough but almost.


This side with M105/Burgandy Wool. It left its own marring but it removed all defects very weel and in VERY LITTLE time. Was almost effortless!


This side with SIP/PFW. I got a pretty good finish with this combo, however there were still traces of defects throughout the panel and took considerably more time to remove less defects. So I chose to do the car with M105.


SIP LEFT/BEFORE/M105 RIGHT


I did a small section over my M105 panel with 106FF/LC FLAT WHITE and found no holograms just as TSC17 said! Saved me ALOT of time!
