Is the QUIVR foam cannon a "newer" addition to your power washing equipment?
Do you ever have compatibility problems between using two different manufacturers of correcting compound and final polishing on the same vehicle, like you did on this BMW?
The Arctic Glaze Blue looks "different" to me and I assume it looks better in person OR the overcast day just did not do it justice in the pics.

Well done on that Beemer Merl!

Yes, I like it.

Not very often. a correction compound can be completely different than a polish.

The Arctic Glaze Blue looks "different" to me and I assume it looks better in person OR the overcast day just did not do it justice in the pics.

It was a grey day. The blue looked awesome in person in the sunlight.

I know how you like them..here are a couple of taped off pics?
Trim, convertible top, cleaning and sealing the convertible top etc.?

Well done on that Beemer Merl!

Thank you!

It turned out sweet!

Thanks for the "taped-off" pics!
Some think it is silly of me to be enamored with such a thing, but for an OCD person, it gives me a true picture of what it takes to be a better detailer.
That and the red CarPro tape just accents certain car colors in a unique and unusual way.
Also your tape and plastic cover of the whole vehicle to clean and detail the fabric convertible top just tells me how REALLY good a detailer you are.
Sorry if I sound like a broken record, as those who view and read your Merlin post of vehicles have ready my accolades and praises of your detailing before, but I think bears repeating.
As New York Yankees baseball legend Yogi Berra once said, "It ain't braggin' if ya can do it."
