Impressions:
Paint was rock hard, swirls were not too hard to remove but RIDS were a PIA and many were in tight areas or edged ares that I worked with the 4 inch pads but too many edges and what not so didn't want to push it. Was using PC on 6 with 4 inch pad and RIDS were still there. Tried M105 straight and Optimum Compound with only a small dent. Customer was very happy, I just wish I could have gotten some of these RIDS out in these areas. Because of the body lines and tight areas I found it difficult, I needed a tiny DA with a 1.5 inch pad..........lol

As it arrived


After wash and Speedy Prep




Notice the curb scuff on the wheel, I was able to polish it out with the drill, Adams Focus pad and Megs 105/205

Great job Meticulous-Detail! The car already looked good but you brought it up to the next level. Looks very good under the sun.

How long did the entire process take you? That's a lot of polishing steps.

How do you like the speedy prep towel?

Thanx. Took 11 hrs, very hard clear. I was trying to get the absolute best gloss and shine, the finsihing polish and glaze only made a slight improvement. Love the speedy prep towel, so easy and fast to use, just rinse clean haven't used clay since I bought it.
