    Looks good! Phil, can you tell us how much W99 you use with the foam gun? We get this question often and I haven't personally used a foam gun. We typically recommend a dilution ratio of about 1:30 with most pre-cleaning but the foam gun is different.

    By the way, the W99 cap is graduated on the inside with a 15 ml marking (equals .5 fl oz).

    Thanks.

    Phil, I have a thing for white Porsches and you did this one some serious justice.

    Looks great! Do you use any product in between polishing with Menzerna Super Finish and Aquartz?

    thanks guys.

    we do use an ip wipe down.

    I will have to figure the exact but we have pretty much used 8 oz to the foam canon and we let the pressure washer do the mixing, its been working great to strip off the old last step, wheel wells etc.

    What final percentage dilution do you prefer for IPA?

    phil, is there a trick to getting the marks out of the rear rocker panel film? i own the same car in white and using the same product (1z deep plastic cleaner). there are still some spots which do not come out of the film -- look like yellow bug guts. what would you try next?

    thanks in advance and great job!

    will

    will I'm going to say the acid from the bug juice stained the clear film, its not always 100% effect. I tell most of my clients to replace them every so often to maintain a clean look.

    seems strange it would be permanently stained after one day of sitting on there?? did you let it soak on the film before wiping? what about plexus or something else?

    plexus would work to protect it but yes a bug can stain after one day.

    just like bird crap etc.
