Default Some new pics of the Formy after a 5hr detail!

Hey guys! I finally had time to whip out the porter cable and give the Formula a good buffin!

Before I started I took the FORMULA badging off, I like it alot better soooo clean!

Anyway my process was Wash, Claybar, Sonus SFX2 on a orange pad, then a quick once over with the white pad, then Klasse All In One applied with a black pad.

Its not perfect but my paint isnt in great shape and the car has 95k miles on it so I think its pretty decent. Think maybe I should try the SFX1 on a orange pad cuz I have that too?

Anyway here they are!!








Yes those are chips

The GM clearcoat is pretty tough and it looks like you're gonna need more than what you've used. I'd pick up some 3M Polishing compound, not sure of its exact number, and use an orange pad. If that doesn't work, it's yellow pad time.

yea, I think so too, it looks better but its surely not as good as it could be. Maybe I'll whip out the SFX1 next time on the orange pad, I have a yellow pad too but I'm hoping it won't come to that.

nice looking formy, you should do those red vent silver or black to match your wheels or car because they do not match anything and stick out, IMO. clean ride tho.
