Nice job Joe! I had to use it today on a BMW X5 and after 3 passes, no reaction. It was Jet Black too so that totally threw me off

I just told the guy that its not worth it to detail his car since it was so difficult to work with. Did make a very good friend though since I saved him a ton of money

Yeah, used purple wool too

Odd thing is that most Jet Blacks are super soft too. Dunno why it was so different this time....

Did you use wool or foam?

Haha, make sure to pick up a paint thickness gauge since the cut of M105 is so high just in case. I'm thinking about the Highline Meter since its only $199.99

what year was the X5? My gf has an 04 E46 and the paint on that car is EXTREMELY hard.

Interesting, with the old formula it would flash after 10 seconds. Thats good to know that it is able to work longer

01. I've worked on many e46 3series and none of them were this hard. It caught me completely off guard
