    Looks great, Phil. You and your black germans haha.

    On a different note, just thought I'd mention that if youre going to use the vintage you'll get the best results using it with other zymol products. Esp. the paint cleanse

    Great work as always.... But I must say the in pictures that the Vintage looks no better than any other LSP I have seen you use. In person did it seem to look better than your other LSP's? It does look great though!

    Phil, did you use the air sanders on the whole car or just certain sections? I want to try out mine bad, but I will be in the road in SC tomorrow for 2 cars.

    :( CD2 is finicky sometimes
    I tried using HD cleanse on another car w Vintage, I didnt see a difference at all. Im not a big fan of CF, even though I have them all :( I always ask the owner if he/she wanted to go straight Zymol or SV and they always say: "I want it like the last guy"

    I did use the Field Glaze though, I like it.

    in all the pictures I take its before sealant and LSP. Honestly IMO, I cant tell the difference between ANY LSP from pictures. Vintage was AMAZING, personally I feel its a big jump ahead of Mystery. My favorite wax right now :thumb:

    Do you guys take paint readings during or after the details?? I'd be curious to see the differences, it seems everyone posts their readings but it is only before polishing.
