Spent the day detailing this 05 GT. This is the car with the swirls that've been kicking my butt for the last couple of yrs. I started on the trunk lid with my PC, an orange pad, & Menz FG400. After multiple passes I wasn't making much progress. My buddy came over with his Rupes & microfiber pads, & all I can say is I gotta get me one of these! I started using it with the FG400, & the swirls had met their match! We finished it with Menz SF4500, & a coat of Menz PL. Now it looks glassy & wet, & swirl-free!

 

Great job. That looks really slick. I'm sure he's happy.

 

Rupes is where it's at. Nice work!

 

Thanx, Marc! I'm gonna pick up some of the Megs MF pads to hold me over until I get a Rupes. I'd never used them before either.

 

Oh dude, you're living under a rock?

Don't forget Meg's 100, 101, Extra-cut microfiber disks, exact fit backing plates (buffdaddy.com for those) and a Highline II paint thickness gauge.

 

I sure feel like I have been! I've not exactly kept up with newer innovations the last few years. Always been kinda old-fashioned I guess. I found what worked for me, & didn't worry about it until I ran into something I couldn't handle. That's what this car was!
