Thanks Dan and Tom!

 

wow Phil . . . . car looks fantastic man! Very very nice work to say the very least. A dripping pool of black ink is what the car looks like.

 

Those wheels are BAD-ASS. I take it you like them too by the quantity of pictures.

 

Great job guys. I almost cried at the before pics.

 

Is it really that cold where you live still or was this done a while ago?

Top notch work from your guys Phil.

 

i really like how he's painted the front lip

great work, awesome quality pics

 

Phil,
Unbelievable job. The energy and care you put into your details are two of the many reasons you will continue to be successful (yeah I know, sounds like a fortune cookie-sorry). Outstanding. I will continue to keep 1 P-car perfect, you take care of all the rest of them!

Get some sleep.

Joe D.

 

Wheels cleaned up real nice.

 

Outstanding as always Phil...

 

Lovely! :mounty:

 

:applause:

 

thanks!

 

That car looks so fresh bro! Great job! It's amazing how much detail you put in you work and I always enjoy reading your posts :thumb:

Question - Was it the M105 that left all that dust? Just asking because I ordered some (from you ) and I have not had a chace to use it yet as it's been raining here in my neck of the woods. Does the M205 dust as well?

Thanks!

LuDawg

 

yup m105 dusted up.

we rarely use m205 I prefer PO85rd.

 

Thanks for the info! I'll have to pick up some PO85RD on my next order.

Ludawg

 

205 is not great on rotary, well terrible actually but 85rd as Phil suggests is excellent and what I use for a finishing polish on the rotary. 205 on the Da works well

This car came out great Phil

 

Very nice work! ^^^ Why would you say that m205 is terrible when used with a rotary?

 

I feel 85rd gets me the look and is easier to use with the results I want.

Dave will give his thoughts...

 

I agree with Phil here. M205 doesnt always finish down tremendously on softer paints via rotary. Even with near perfect technique on really soft or goofy paints 205 can very lightly hologram. Though with a DA it finishes fantastic. 85RD is a great finisher for all paints and especially when used with a rotary. I dont really ever use 205 with a rotary either.

 

how is PO85rd with a DA? 205 preferred?
