55 T-Bird This was a treat working on this car. First single stage paint I have ever done. The paint was hammered and Customer just wanted a single step correction. I started with NSP 95, blue hdo pad, and 21mm. It did well, however I wanted a little more cut, so switched to 3D one and went...

A little late, but Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Wow! How in the world did that happen? :)

I would try a one step with rupes blue pad or even purple or blue foamed wool pad from lake country if you have them, I would even try it on rotary and see the results.

I know this person and they bought it new, they actually recently had it repainted after this happened. I washed and waxed it today. Thats how I found out about this other detailer. I detailed one this bad before, however I told owner there was nothing I could do to fix the hood. I did a...

GMC had an issue with hoods and roofs where that paint fails on certain year models. I didn’t do this but I just want to know what you guys thoughts are on what happened. First pic shows how bad paint was failing, they called another detailer to see if they could fix it. Second pic shows his...

Before I took Mike’s class, I had only used a rotary on gelcoat. When I first started the rotary was in control. I did learn on my own to handle it better. Fast forward after I took Mike’s class and now, I look forward to grabbing a rotary. He gives you the confidence and show you these skills...

Looks amazing! Great work!

Only way to know that is apply early in morning before it gets hot. Keep us updated if you figure it out.

Just trying to make sure I understand. Second pic is after polishing with foam pad and before sealant? That still seems to me look like some oxidation left causing that. Hard to say without being there. You can try to polish with a softer foam pad and see what happens. Just brain...

I think best option would be rinseless wash or detail spray. Optimum ONR or P&S absolute with a wash mitt, optimum sponge, or multiple plush microfibers. Then a good drying towel like autofiber dreadnought. My two cents😀

You have a picture so we can see what you mean by pad marks? Hazing? What polish are you using to finish with? You sure it’s not oxidation that making it appear that way. If it’s still oxidized when you apply a wax or sealer, it will make it look blotchy and uneven.

Looks amazing! Good work.

Got it, thanks.
