    Ok you guys have answered these questions a million times before so once again here goes again.

    When using the Rotary it seemed #83 disappeared very fast and this was after using the same pad all most all day.
    If I sprayed a quick shot of QD above the truck (12"-18"I would get massive splatter

    I did get a slight hologram on the tonneau cover. it looks as i did not let the NXT set long enough but I know better, What I think I did was work #83 to far and the pad did the damage (ever so slight) you can only see the hologram in direct day light and rock back and forth from one leg to the other and only where I know I went from one direction to another, I also think that the tonneau cover has a softer paint then the truck since it is not a OEM part and it did not any where else

    For the first time I think I had great results.

    it seems the shinier I get my finish the more imperfections I can see ie...orange peel, Fish eye, Something trapped under the paint causing a bubble effect etching, You name it I have it some where.

    Ok Wife is yelling to get her spa running again gotta go before I get a Makita cord wrapped around my neck.

    Great work!! The hood b4 and after show significant improvement. Damage is reduced but still like you said some damage still there. Hood looks much clearer. Great job for your first time.

    How did you recover from the hologram??

      Great work there!

      As you probably know, the ROTARY is a much more powerful tool and should be used carefully as there is a much greater potential to permanently damage painted surfaces versus the potential with a G-100 dual action polisher.

        Beercan,

        WAY TO GO on your first try!


        I undersand following up with the PC and a light polish is popular to finish off any remaining defects such as holograms.

        Black's the most challenging color, you did great, keep up the good work!
