Thanks! Yes I am mobile and I actually just opened up a shop location in Temple Terrace. Thanks for the tip, when I get a chance Ill look them up and see what they think!

3m is great stuff! I actually used Ultrafina on this truck I believe for the final finishing polish, you really cant beat Ultrafina!

Shoot me a PM if you would like a referral to a true professional, I know someone in your area.

Yes, I leave sanding as a last resort especially on factory clears, they are thin enough as it is! haha! The truck has never been sanded, but you can get some amazing results with the right machine/products/tecnique!

The tape is to prevent buffer burn on any painted edges or rubber moldings, youd be surprised how quick you can tear through those moldings and they arent cheap! Tape is just cheap insurance!
