    Today star1maker came over to detail this Blue Toyota Camry, not sure what year it is, maybe he knows.

    Process:

    - car was foamed with foam cannon with a mixture of TAW, CWC, and water
    - clayed with blue poly clay and gray clay with LT as lube
    - tires and wheel wells cleaned with Grime Reaper and rims got P21s gel

    Correction
    - Makita with yellow Sonus pad and SIP
    - Festool with yellow/white Sonus pad with PO203 on vertical panels

    LSP
    - 2 coats of Z-2 ZFXed

    Scratch before, the rest of the scratches were too deep so we just worked on minimizing the scratch so it was less noticeable.

    There was a lot of dust left on the car from compounding so it was rewashed. A heavy mixture of hyper wash for some fun shaving cream action

    LSP of choice was 2 coats of Z-2 ZFXed, being applied by star1maker

    and the final results

    The Camry came out looking great! Does Hawaii make you put stickers on your bumpers? If so, I would go postal.

    Great work here gents, im curious on the Festool...i must be oblivious but i have never heard of it...is it run off an air compressor? You have a link? Looks cool!

    It's a great tool, I prefer it over the Flex. It is the same, a forced rotation orbital, but it is a lot smoother and easier to control and MUCH easier on your ears. It is electric, but its a sander and there a thing on the back where you can plug in a suction type machine that they sell and its supposed to suck up wood dust instead of if flying all over the place. Heres a link to one, but I bought mine at a local store.
