^^^Two different time periods of the day (morning VS early evening)
We don't have too long with the car.
Clouds / weather usually interfere with the pics whether it rains or just becomes slightly overcast.

Very nice!

Nice work! What soap do you use for the wash? Was there any wax to the paint prior at all? The soap doesn't look like it beaded.

No, the car had no wax or protectant on it. I used CarPro Iron X soap.

Hmm tell me more about this:
Black / Modesta Primer

Single application of: (LSP) Modesta BC-03 Pure Glass Coating

how does it compare to Opti-coat/CarPro's CQuartz

I wish I was closer. I'd let you do mine. Strong work :beer:

I just bought a Porter Cable along with Meguiars M101 and a Menzerna Super Finish. Can only wish I get a turn out like yours. I still haven't purchased the pads/backing plate. I plan on purchasing Lake Country pads to do the job. Any recommendations on Pad types/colors best to use for these products? Thanks in advance and nice work once again.

Lance,

I use a LC Black finishing pad is used to apply the P-01A primer.


I have not used CarPro CQ enough to personally know the durability/longevity of it, I just do not use CQ. I do know its pretty glossy and has your typical beating/sheeting property to it.

I am an installer for OC-Pro so that was the coating I primarily used. I do have 22ple, Gtechniq C1, Wolf's HB, Ceramic Pro, and of course Modesta on the shelf. I strictly use Modesta now, I happen to love the results of it.

The Modesta BC-03 & BC-04 seem to crystalize much sooner than OC-Pro.
And the overall finish is glossier.


BTW, I noticed you are retired USAF.
I am in the USAF ANG / LRS 159th FW; currently a SSgt.
