Fantastic job The results look really, really good. You've jet set the bar higher again! Damn you.
Thanks for sharing the details too. That's one of the most complete write-ups I've seen. Are you going to post this on Autopia?
The foam gun sounds like a winner. And so does JetSeal109. I'm going online now to order them. Damn you.

Absolutely beautiful! Much respect for your process and attention to detail.
That's incredible -- and that on a car with non-metallic paint -- good work!

LOL!!! I was waiting to see your response. It's actually all your fault. You first got me hooked on Zaino early last year and then the Orbital. We're even.
Looks amazing......Great Job..

Thanks for all the nice comments guys. I appreciate it. The effort was well worth the result, but I have to say that I am VERY glad that I won't have to do this again for another 6 months. If this was a monthly thing, I'd kill myself.
Thanks Chris! If you want to test out any of these products, let me know. We live only a few miles from each other and I'm happy to let you try them for yourself.
