I told the guy who did the tinting to put it at 15% and that's what I thought I had until I got pulled over. When they tested the tint the cop said it was at 11%...so that's what I'm going with haha.

turned out good I like to use 3m myself. Its pricey but it works very well for me. I have tried a few others with not as good of results. I always use a variable speed dewalt 849. I have done alot of buffing in my time and its a long process to look like a mirror but well worth it.

I did check it out and you a correct he did awesome work on that car. i have done my share of paint restores but none even close to that bad. He practicly did the whole car. Most guys dont wanna pay a guy to do that much work on an old paint job. But in that case they where very smart they know that cars worth tons more money all og

Only used Pinncale products unfortunately. I just learned about all this detailing stuff. The next detail to my car will be with Menzerna SIP and their 106fa. I'll top that with some Natty's blue .

It depends on the color of your car. Blue is supposed to have a better finish for darker colored cars. At least that's what I hear from a lot of detailers and what it says on the product website lol. Hey...there is nothing wrong with strawberries lol.

Haha...that would be a pretty good marketing idea...color a wax to whatever color you want. I'd go with lime green.

truthfully doubt it...the poorboys and turbowax stuff works so good for the price that i cannot complain at all....and i guarantee that i could use my stuff on one half the hood and that on the other and never tell a difference....

plus i dont have the money to experiment when i have great stuff laying around...
