Lol I know the tech personally as well as the service manager. I'd rather not pay if it was covered.

From one detailing fanatic to another... car looks great.

Since I saw you have experience with OC2.0, you could always coat the windshield moldings with it and not worry about it again. I use 303 on mine personally, and it works great.

i stopped using 303 awhile back when autogeek sent me back to back bottles of bad ones. my car was bought in florida and the damage seems to be from the last owner. everything is perfect now. here are most recent pics after my detail.

ISF power great job! I was going to tell you, and you already know there are endless combos in the detailing world. But, next time replace the SF1500 with the FG400, I detail a few cars a month and use the whole line of menzerna with my FLEX FR orbital and mostly my rotary. For hard and soft paint it dimishes even better tan the 1500 and with the SF1500 you may need more steps. Just throwing an idea out there. Ive used it on 3 Zr1, 2 SLS AMG, a 1 of 2 laquer based 1973 brewster green sd Trans Am, 9 lexus from new GSFs to ISFs, bmw 335, and even boats, and it is the absolutely most versital "1" step minus polishing compound I have ever used in the last 6 months. I use and have every Menzerna product as well. Just from one detailer to another just some info. Your car turned out very good.

FG400 is good stuff. my paint wasn't bad at all to begin with, i didn't want too much cut. you're right FG400 can be finished down to a LSP. the SF1500 i used can also be LSP but i used the 85rd to "jewel" the paint for the extra gloss that i like.

FG is perfect for most cars when doing details though if you do it for a living. thanks ma.

Wolfgang deep gloss sealat 3.0 is some of the best sealant ive used. people think its pricey but i think i can do 100 cars + with the bottle.
