1) How long did it take you to do the Green Toyota Tacoma?
2) How much would you charge for the work on that?
3) When you wet sand...how abrasive is the sand paper?

4) And what are the following?
•SIP w/ orange pad @ 1600 rpm
•106ff w/ white pad @ 1300 rpm
•Z5pro
•Jet Seal

Hey, i always saw this thread and was amazed by your work...few questions

on your 2 options the only difference i can see is this

● One-step abrasive cleaner polish applied by machine

and for the $100 more you get this...

● Multiple abrasive compounding/polishing steps applied by machine


can you really tell a difference between one being used versus the other?

Too bad you didn't polish out the headlight lenses on the Tacoma... that would have really made it pop!

1. The Tacoma took about 4 1/2 hours
2. All my packages/prices are listed on my website under the service page!
3. I usually use 3000grit
4. SIP = menzerna super intensive polish
106ff = menzerna 106ff nano polish
z5pro = zaino z5pro
jetseal = chemical guys jet seal

The multiple abrasive compounding/polishing steps is used for deeper swirls/scratches. the one step polish is for newer cars that have light swirls
