Prototype Mach-E (in Rapid Red Metallic) showed up at work today

I started using a foam cannon two years ago. It became fun to wash the car.

I'm new to this too Mark. I watched their videos, and their stuff is also available on Amazon (chemical guys). I also watched Pan the organizer videos. Lots of good stuff. I decided just to go to AutoZone, buy the supplies for doing a two bucket wash and clay bar detail that they had on the shelf and order the Gold Eagle Graphene to try out on my two current cars. They turned out really great, and there are even more great products out now.
It was time consuming, but satisfying, and I will probably do the ME on my own with these products. I really can't afford to spend the money on a professional job or ppl film after I have spent this much on the car, and there is a "do it yourself" satisfaction you can get from the work.
I did not buy a polisher and do that step in the process but I may consider that too for the ME.

chemical guys, you won't regret it. Great products.

Mazda red is hard to beat!

That is a true red. Rapid red is maroon in my opinion. Should have been called burnt raspberry

Thanks now I want a raspberry pie because my mom used to always burn them a little.

Just thought I'd share



My ruby red F150 on the right and a rapid red F150 on the left... Slightly lighter in rapid red but barely noticeable depending on the angle

Thanks, that's a nice comparison

I believe the MME's red is slightly different than the regular Rapid Red due to the metallic flakes to give it a bit of an extra sparkle in sunlight.

true but when I think of red I think of bright in your face red. This is not it. In the early 70’s candy apple red was REALLY popular. Wish it was still around.

yup. miss candy apple red

it was sooo cool because it was bright but had sooo much metallic that it truly glistened. Saleen had at one time this extremely expensive paint that was different colors from green to purple depending on the light of day.
