Nice work! Couple of questions......
-Can you put any car shampoo in the foam gun?
-How much shampoo did you add vs. water?
-Did you foam prior to using wolf's decon gel?
-Do you foam after wolf's decon gel?
-What are your thoughts on the Nanoskin vs. Clay bar. I am thinking about picking one up.
Products on my bucket list: Adams DWC, Decon gel, Nanoskin, Foam gun.
Thanks

Nicely done Phil. I'm assuming you took thickness readings, and I'm curious, were they inconsistent throughout the car? Good friend of mine has practically the exact same vehicle, just a different color, and I'm getting thickeness readings that are all over the map!
I'm looking at anywhere from 74-106 micons on the fenders and trunk lid, and 162+ everywhere else. I understand that this isn't unusual, it's just that the range of paint thickness is much more spread out than I'm used to.
