Wifes car, last polished late march with 106ff.

Seven months of mostly QEW (quick easy wash) washes with Blue MFs from excel detail:





I had used Acrylic Jett back in April, in late August I applied a few coats of AJ Ttrigger as it seemed that
the AJ was loosing its slickness somewhat.

After a QEW wash:



Process:
Clayed
Polished hood, roof and trunk with Extreme Cut/Optimun Polish mix, white LC VC pad 1500.
Polished entire car with menzerna 106ff/RMG mix green P2 pad 1500.
Polished entire car with menzernaP085RD green P2 pad 1400.
(I was informed after that 106ff and 085 finish down about the same. I can verify that I could not tell the difference.)
50/50 wipedown
Z6 wipedown
3x Z5pro w/ ZFX
Z6 after coats 1 and 2
Z8 after final coat
Just got new tires a few weeks ago, applied 2x of Z-16.

After polishing:





Here is the hood after EC/OP then 106ff



Same steps for the trunk:
