Prima Swirl and S2000 Demo **OctaneGuy

I frequently get calls from customers asking me to recommend some polishes to fix their paint issues. The customer of this S2000 told me that he had some Dealer Installed Swirls and wanted to know what could be done. After inspecting the paint, I said that a Porter Cable polisher with Prima would fix it right up.

Check out the S2000 here.
This is an example of why observing paint under the wrong type of lights can mask the TRUE condition because it looks pretty decent here right?



My son was out of summer school so he wanted to come to work with me. Well playing wii wasn't enough for him, he wanted to help Daddy!


Taped off a spot and polished with the 7424XP, an LC White Pad, Prima Swirl, and Prima Amigo. I set up my custom overhead lighting rig to bring out the paint defects.


Dealer buffer swirls on the left, polished perfection on the right!


The difference is plain as day! The S2000 owner is now a proud owner of a PC and Prima Polishes!


That's one thing you'll always get at ShowCarDetailing and ShowCarSupplies. If you know what you want, order online, and pick them up in the shop that includes free demos. Or if you aren't sure what to order, just shoot me an email, we'll set an appointment, I'll show you what I can do with your paint--you can buy those tools, and I'll even teach you how to do it yourself! There aren't too many places where you'll get that kind of attention from a professional paint polisher willing to show you the "secrets"!.

I can't see the pictures. This is like knowing there are cookies in the house but not being able to find them.

Nice demo, Richard!

Indeed, those in your area should take you up on your offer of free demos/training when they pick up their goodies. Although we all know the PC and Prima polishes are easy to use... newbies can jump through that learning curve with super ease with just little help. They're lucky to have such access to you!

I can't wait until we can "employ" Paia to help out! (btw, your son is getting so big!)

Kenchan... Pay? What pay? OG's son gets paid in food, shelter and love.

Well, besides the fact he's interning, we did go to Milepost 38, his favorite train store afterwards and played with Thomas the Train, and I bought him a Thomas book so we could read it together!
