    This was just a one step exterior detail, paint was in horrible shape I tried to do as much as I could and it actually ended up quite well.

    Products Used:
    Makita
    White Pad w/Menzerna 106ff
    Menzerna FMJ
    Adams Metail Polish

    Just a newbie to detailing. More on the mechanical side but always appreciate good work. I have been truly amazed at some of the corrections and overall paint gleaming. I wish I knew all of you when I did arbitrations for Lexus and one of their major complaints was prep paint problems. You all have inspired me to purchase a Flex Da with a variety of Menzerna polishes for my own family fleet. Keep up the good work and keep posting your pics.

    I do as well, that is really nice work..did the steel wool finish down that great? Or Did you follow it up with the same polish and a foam applicator? Those are sweet!!

    The steel wool did finish it down quite well, than I polished again to give it a nice shine.
