        So what's the big deal, you just had someone take a picture of you holding the camera to your face

        Awesome work as usual

          Now that's funny! You know, I forgot Nick recently starting using Photoshop...

          Either he's really good with M105 and a DA or he's gotten really good with Photoshop making "before" photos look really bad!

                  Thanks for the clarification, Nick. I'm astounded at the results you achieved, given that you did mainly one pass, and it was with m105! Says a lot about the product, and perhaps more importantly--your technique (applause).

                  I did about three passes with m105, followed by 2 passes of m205 both w/ 7''
                  SB 2.0 Yellow polishing pad on speed 5 with the G110 and could only achieve about 60% correction on my mother's beat-up 1997 work truck. 5 hours invested, and all I had time to do was the hood . And it still didn't turn outeven 1/3 as dramatically-awesome as your 1-step correction, haha.
                  I may have to look into these 6.5'' orange CCS pads that I keep seeing people use...

                      Single stage meaning 1 product and 1 pass(see above), this does not mean single stage type paint(no clear coat).

                      This was a Harley edition Ford truck, base and clear coat. 1 pass(see above) around the entire truck with M105, and a couple of spots where I had to make 2 passes(see above).


                      I'm sure you're even more confused than you were before
