    Nice work on the paint! The pictures tell the tale. No in the shade, from a distance stuff.

    Now I really want a Flex! How long did it take to polish out the defects?

    The pictures look great and the correction looks superb :thumb:

    what are your thoughts on Scholl products? Oh and what is this tar&glue remover you used? Just curious.

    Thank you for sharing.

    haha great work. If I didn't know you lived outside calgary, I'd have to ask if you stole one of my customers; the car is EXACTLY the same, down to the rims! Love the paint on that car, really flecky.

    Thanks :) I realy like the Scholl products. But I am keeping my Menzerna. All the paints are different and sometimes Scholl works better then Menzerna and vice verca. I do like the short working time compared to Menzerna. S17 is a good allround product, S30+ reminds me of Menzerna PO106FA, IE decent cut and a superb finish. A15 is a nice product for valeting and car dealership since it contains wax and silicone. Works pretty fast.

    I used Autosmart Tar & glue remover on the lower part of the car, just do be sure to remove all winter grime and salt that has been groving there.

    It´s a superb product. Don´t know why it´s not so popular in the states. Gives a plastic fantastic look with nice clarity. Not so much depth but hey, thats why we have Nuba ;)

    I always apply Fireglaze with two coats. The first layer is massaged down into the paint until it almost disapear. I uese more product for the second layer, and let it cure for ~30 min.
