Default Who needs Hollywood Special Effects AMG GT

Being crap with a camera is nothing compared to my special effects
I forgot to explain what was done to this car, the car was completely wet sanded using 2000 then 3000 grit wet, then 6000 trizact pads on a DA sander, the machine polishing was 4 cutting stages then 2 more stages of refining, Gtechniq Serum was applied as a base coat and 12 hours later Gtechniq EXO was applied as a top coat, the Serum will last upto 5 years but the exo would be toped up after about each15 months thereafter, dependant on the washing regime.

Thank you, I have loads more videos showing some of my weekly work, but didnt want to upset the admin because most of the cars I get to work on are unfortunately not Fords, but if it is oked by admin I would post more regularly as I am sure there are things to be learned from watching and I will always answer any questions that may be asked, I wasnt sure any one was that interested owing to the lack of comments but I am grateful to those that do.

Thanks for your support, I have been a member on here for years, and have enjoyed watching many of the projects, my wife and myself have owned many Fords and still love them but unfortunately I do not get many through my door, but do get loads of other nice cars, I just felt that I could share some of the tips of the trade before I get to old lol.
this was my last 10 days work.
