    MTM Cannon
    Wash Mitt
    Adams Paint Correcting Polish

    Looks really good. What was going on in the 50/50 shot to the right of the line?

    i got a little too far over the tape line. To the right was how it was when it came in. Left is after i polished. Which is fresh paint, no sealant nor wax. Thats how oxidized it was.

    Oh okay that makes sense. It didn't click in my head what that was and I was trying to figure out how something like that would happen in the middle of the hood :p

    I use a foam cannon. I have a foam gun which doesnt put as thick of a lather on the paint. I really like the foam cannon. Heres a video of me using it on my own car for an idea.

    I like the foam cannon idea. Never seen one. Are you just using a water hose or a pressure washer? More info please? That tundra turned out great by the way. Wish my engine bay was that clean.

    It requires a pressure washer. I just have a 2000PSI one and it can handle up to 5000. I use an electric one. I only use 3oz in the mix and fill the rest the bottle with water.
