Ready for the Prima experience

ok well today i decided to get herman ready for a complete prima spa treatment. i washed the car, clayed the entire car including the glass, washed it again, dried with a microfiber towel. went over the paint with a fine cut cleaner to remove any slightly deeper scratches and marks. then used an olde polisher with a microfiber polishing bonnet on it. I hope this week to start on the prima! i have swirl finish amigo epic and slick comming in on monday so it should be a full few days next weekend (if i can wait that long). I will let you all know my honest opinion on it compares to what i am used to on the other cars i have done ( including an $65k mustang i used to have for shows)

well the prima has arrived!!!!

so i couldnt wait to at least try a bit of it. I rewashed and dried the car after work and only had time to do a quick pass on the hood with swirl. I know it will need a slow careful working on the hood to get ll the swirls gone but i can honestly say this about the product so far. HOLY COW AWSOME!! if the rest of the products work 1/2 as well as the swirl does...CONVERTED!!!!!

I'll be slipping over to Prima soon as well. Been using Zaino for the past ~5 years, but will try the Prima system when my Zaino is used up. (Been slowly moving over though with Hydro and Banana Gloss).
