OK I just shot the second coat on the last wing and have a few minutes before I shoot the last coat.
I just shot a few pictures of the finished fuselage to try and give you guys an idea of the level of gloss I was able to achieve with the new System 51 rubbing compounds. Let me tell you the stuff is incredible. The pictures don't do it justice. I have only been able to achieve this level of gloss and depth one other time and it took days of work. This stuff is effortless and I mean minutes versus hours of work. If you have been intimidated by doing a cut and buff finish or had problems, this is your answer....System 51.
Like I said, the pictures are not even close to what it really looks like. I think when I get it all together and in the sun (if we ever see it again), it will show off the gloss and depth a lot better.
