Looking at the pics yet again, the car does look a lot wetter. Seems as though it has a new layer of clear coat. Looks real nice... Swirl free, paint looks thicker...

Thanks so much for the compliments ffboy!!!

My collinite 476s will look better than the Fuzion

I don't have a 5" BP for the Rupes yet. I will need to try this combo once I get it. Probably the only BP I don't own at this point. Somehow I ended up with about 8x 7" BPs for the G110v2. I've been trying to give them away.
I am guessing you used washer mod for the job, how much better is it compare to doing a job without it?

Ohh and how'd you like the faux clay towel? It looks interesting. I still have yet to use the clay pad I bought will let you know when I do. Seeing I have stacks of Megs clay I don't think that towel will be added to my collection for a few years unless it does something magical.

Did you apply wolfgang fuzion by hand? Was removal hard after 15mins? The instructions on the package are kind of vague. Like you said before it looks like WOWO product, but I remove most waxes after just 15 mins if they are cured right. So it seems not so much a WOWO. Is it comparable to anything else you worked with?

I have no photos to share of my Rupes work. Only used it on my car and wifes Pilot so far. And the G110v2 is the main tool used when working on customer cars, I haven't done anything more than a few polish/wax jobs recently.
And lastly you are in serious need of a pressure washer and foam cannon of sorts. I thought I had good foam action with the hose/sprayer combo we both were using. But compare to pressure washer and MTM foam cannon the soap picture you posted has me asking "where's the soap?" In full disclosure I don't notice any difference in cleaning power when using either method. Foam looks cooler i guess. Maybe it helps with cars in serious need or in road salt areas.

Thanks a lot Chris!!!

Wow talk about cyber peer pressure!! J/K!!!! I really want to move to SoCal. I'm just waiting to hear back from that company or wait for others to interview me. I applied a lot but I haven't heard from any other...

I haven't tried the 6" MF pads yet. I don't have 6" finishing pads. I heard they work great. I really like the 5" BP a lot more than the 6" BP. I feel that there's a huge safety factor. I don't like how sharp the edge of the 6" BP is. With the 5" MF pads, the polisher wasn't walking on me. Do you have the 5" BP?

Re: Detailed: 2012 BMW F30 328i - Alpine White

Nice work. Have you tried the 6" MF with the Rupes21 yet? Did you notice pad "walk" when working with the cutting discs? Even my finishing pads were "walking" on me.

And like the rest said COME TO CALI. Specifically the last Thursday in May. I need help polishing up before Vegas car show.

Very nice job, Marc. Now, when are you coming to Cali? Haha keep up the good work buddy!!

Thanks a lot buddy!!! Soon man, soon. Don't worry we'll hit your baby up when the time comes.

Great work and very well documented (as always) Marc.

Thank you so much for the compliments, Davey! I'm glad you liked the thread.

It's very hard to make white look real good, but you made this look amazing... Light colors are generally easier to maintain and swirls and scratches can accumulate without one noticing it. But a thorough paint correction and before and after pics can show how that you can get superb results and see how light colors like this bmw can still come out looking a lot wetter..

Thank you so much, ffboy!!! Yeah I was really afraid to take on this car because I thought the pictures won't come out nice. But it came out amazing. Although pictures don't do this detail justice. Looks even wetter and glossier in person.

I been trying to get him to come out here.
Great job Marc
