    Well I started today at 8 am and was about 30 degrees outside. I finished at around 3:30 and the sun was breaking through. Sorry I forgot to take before pictures, paint was in decent shape, besides the swirls created by car washes. I had great results with correction, could not find any swirls with the help of the sun gun. I chose to apply souveran as the LSP and it gave it a nice deep wet look. Over all it was a great detail to bad it was my mothers car and did it for free.:D Anyway here are some pics:

    Well this was my fist time using it, I was lucky and picked it up when AG had the buy one get one free. I applied it with the PC on a blue pad, and it came off very easy.

    I like the flex but a lot it corrects great. My only problem with it is that I am so swore now from doing to doors and lower panels down. I have a brand new metabo but I did not want to use until I have time to master it on my own truck. Once I learn the rotary I think I will save a lot of time on the correction. The flex is a great machine which has the power to correct some major imperfections. I am thinking about trying out my OC and OP on the ford simply because I have never used it yet. Don't get me wrong Menz is great stuff but I just want to try everything out.

    Thank you everybody for the complements

    I think Adams Detail Spray may be Carnauba based so be careful when using JS109 after. Might want to use a synthetic QD!

    Sorry I cant comment on the pics because I CANT SEE THEM FROM THE WORK COMPUTER!
    :(

    FYI Adam's Detail Spray has no carnauba at all in it.
