A stunning car, im sure it was a pleasure detailing this big cat

FCP, SIP, FA?
Sorry im not clued up on these products, please elaborate..

Thanks

Thanks Mr MO

FCP = 3M Fast Cut Plus, my favourite compound to date. Can be worked long or short and delivers some excellent correction when used at higher (1800-2000) rpm's

SIP = Menzerna Super Intensive Polish. Falls between a finishing polish and a compound. Delivers some excellent correction and can finish down LSP ready. Must have polish IMHO although it can be 'finicky' at times.

FA = Menzerna 106FA (Final Action also known as Final Finish in some markets iirc). Excellent finishing polish with a light 'bite' on harder ceramiclear paints. 106FA delivers a slightly crisper finish than SIP due to it's finer cut. Very similar to Meguiars M205 although on some softer paints I have seen the FA to finish down that bit better than M205 (Woodie and Siya can attest to this having seen it in the flesh a few weeks back)

Thanks dude...Got one or 2 bits and pieces to post but no more full write-ups I'm afraid. The past month or 2 I have been really lazy and just wanted to get the jobs done so I didn't bother much with detailed pics. Have a few before and afters to post though when I get around to it

From the 'before' shots can't believe shes only a few months old!!!
Poorboys sealant got some great reviews, what's your take on it David?

Thanks bud!

I was surprised as well being an 'X' reg with under 10k km on the clock. The owner seemed highly peeved at the condition considering the $$$ he paid for the car

The Poorboys EX is a decent product IMHO, goes on and comes off really easily and leaves a nice finish. I haven't really monitored durability with it though so I can't compare it to some of the other sealants I have in that regard. Given the choice however, I would have to say that there are other sealants I prefer over the EX and it is not something I would buy myself (I was given this bottle by JL so I use it simply because I have it).

Hope that helps
