1997 Camry Detail - Flex PE14 vs oxidized paint
Matt brought in his 1997 Camry that was in serious need of a detail. We decided to put the new Flex PE14-2-150 Rotary Polisher to the test in conjunction with Wolfgang Finishing Glaze and LC Hydro-Tech pads. This combo worked surprisingly well to remove such a heavy amount of oxidation. As expected, the PE14 was extremely smooth yet powerful. The overall ergonomics and lightweight of the machine made the job that much easier.

Here are some before shots. I think the car was last washed around a year or so ago :
Notice how Cleanse-All is encapsulating most of the dirt, allowing it to run off.
Yeah, kinda oxidized...
Some 50/50s
We have our process dialed in for the paint. While I polished the paint, Matt got to work on the headlights.
