UPDATE :headbang:

OK, that CG no. 721 is A W S O M E.
in did in one pass, better than 3 passes with the other stuff.

check this out.

Before:
B19.jpg



Wet Sanded:
B27.jpg



Polished:
B33.jpg




this is before glaze and sealer.
no 721 polish on a wool pad, and 1 pass of hyperpolish on an orange pad.

W-O-W amazing turn around. Looks like the stuff you used on the back end really did the trick.

thanks guys


JD, that CG polish worked amazingly much bedda!
it went on easier, and didn't gum up my pad nearly as much. it did dust a little, but with results like that I can wipe up a little dust! :p

I've been really happy with their products.

What are you looking to do, I could offer some suggestions??

Oh for sure. That picture you posted with the boat in the water, was that before your detail? Also, is that the lake that they film girls gone wild at or where there is that big boating week?

Re: Detail of a Malibu Wakesetter, and breakin in the Hitachi Rotary

Dal,

I would probably like to get the pad cleaner.
A compound of some sort(721 I guess?)
A finishing polish, dunno what to get here..
A sealant/glaze
And maybe a 'nuba wax as well...

Oh an I've been thinking about some Diablo wheel Gel, and a plastic dressing of some sort.

You can PM me so we don't cloud up your thread.
