South Florida Detailing
There is a big air cooled Euro meet this weekend in Miami. This is one of two cars I am detailing for the show. This car has single stage paint on it. The White looked great but the blue was oxidized and swirled out. The owner of the car just wanted a 1-step correction because that what was in his budget.

I don't know about anyone else, but I really dig this old school Beetles. Not the Supers, but the Regulars. (and pres 69's)
Looks awesome for sure, great job!

I'm with both of ya'll. I really dig the Bug. I especially like the paint scheme on this one. Never owned one of the air-cooled models, but Mrs. Clean opted for the VW NB Turbo S some years back. Not quite the same, but...
How long have you been using the Hydro-Tech pads? Do you also have the Blue? What are you opinions as to performance as compared to the CCS (marketing information places its cutting just below the orange light cutting, but states that it finishes out better). Are there really any noticeable differences?
