Beautiful work as always Nick!

Those 50/50 shots are amazing.

Hey Nick. Nice work.

After you use the Compound, is the paint LSP ready or does the finishing wax have some mild abrasives to finish it down to perfection.

I'm a bit confused about the system on this point.

From your pics, it looks like the paint is LSP ready after using the compound + the cutting pad. Do you need to use the compound with the finishing pad at all?

The Finishing Wax DOES have a good deal of cut to it. A tad bit less than PRC D151. But with many paints, especially metallic paints, the cutting compounds(DA Compound, M105, etc...) finish out absolutely outstanding! And really have no use for an extra polishing step. But this will also depend on what the customer, or yourself is wanting. Some people are getting a bit of haze with just the compound and cutting pad, and some aren't. I think it has a bit to do with the amount of product used per section, and the amount of time the product is worked, and of course the paint itself. But you'll just have to try it(as with any other pad/product choice) and see how it's gonna work for you.

On an average, I'd say an extra polishing step is needed about 20-30% of the time. but that's a completely uneducated guess. lol! The way I look at it, you're gonna need a wax anyway, so it won't hurt to have the Finishing wax, just in case. Even if it's just the 16oz bottle from ADS. It will be beneficial to have around.

Hope that answered your question.
