            Holy ****! That's amazing man, very nice work. I too would be interested in hearing what products and processes you used to get such awesome results.

              Given the choice, would you rather work on a clear coated car or a single stage paint system?

                Thanks guys.

                Mike, if you would of asked me that 2 months ago, I probably would have said Single Stage. But now, after the introduction of M105, my favorite would have to be BC/CC. The results from M105 are absolutely outstanding!

                Process was 83 and a wool pad. Then 80 with a DA, and NXT for the wax. It's not perfect, but a HUGE improvement over it's previous state.

                            We agree, M105 has made working on clearcoats much easier with less work and struggle to get great results.

                            Still, there's nothing like working on a classic car with classic paint.

                              Wow, what a save. The Z looks great. Great work once again Nick. Looks fantastic.
