hard body on starfire pearl
i never did get to post pictures of my car since i have gotten it yet so here is a great excuse to.
a couple of things that stick out of my mind...
it was hard as hell to see where to polish off the residue on a white car and i should've definitely used a spray bottle to apply the hard body to waste less.
i know it doesn't "pop" as much as it would on a darker color but it is still mighty slick and shiny

Car looks amazing great backdrop. I was planing on using that product also when I got my car also a starfire pearl. Any other tips you can give me? Did you do anything to prep first? How may coats? What number tint is that?

I have the exact car on order and am waiting for DD to get rim shield in stock so I can order Hard Body also. I was wondering all the same questions. Did you you only 1 coat? Looks great, love the Starfire Pearl.

i really like the ease of use with the product and the shorter cure time compared to 22ple. i did not have to use any special motorized equipment other than my 2 hands. having a white car is much more forgiving if i missed a spot as well.
if you have the time, search through the previous thread for more answers

these products come from Budapest, and Phil sells out fast. put you name on the waiting list. but for now you can use the Lusso Oro, or the Auto Finesse Lather, they're both mild shampoos and won't degrade the HB. for a QD, you can get the aquartz reload (you have to dilute the hell out of it because it streaks). or the Nano Hydro Express. you'll be fine with any of these. if you find the HB beading diminishing somewhat, then put on another layer. that's what i love about HB.
