Here is a quickie I got in today... It was pretty well swirled at the start I hit it with Clay Magic, DACP, IP, and a little FP for the heck of it. Sealed it with AIO topped with S-100. Chrome was done with Blue Magic. Wish I got some before pics!!

Anyone still having trouble with CMA's orange power pads? I used one for the first time today on a Jetta and the area of foam around the velcro backing disintegrated after about half of the car......... not happy about that......the pad is useless now. :angry

Here are some pics of my first go with a pc. Results were impressive. I did spend a huge amount of time experimenting with different pads and pressure and products. I am still not sure how much I like 3M SMR. I don't like the fillers. It's not fixing anything, just hiding it. I'll have to try...

I am going to be using AIO for the first time tomorrow. Is it necessary to wait any particular amount of time for the SG to cure before topping it with Carnuba like S-100? I would really like to do multiple coats of SG and then the S-100, but it's not my car and I only have it for tomorrow...

Scott, I have a friend with a new 1500 Intruder (motorcycle). Of course, the dealer prep left it with some fine swirls and clearcoat scuffs. (similar to what a shop rag would do to a black car...) He saw how anal I am with my car and asked me to detail his bike. "Sure," I...

I searched some threads and short of calling CMA do we know what the orange pads cost? I didn't see that question come up. (the CMA site is not listing the price now since they are on back order) I was just curious.....

I should have probably searched before I posted this but hee we go. I want to get a PC. Is there and particular model to get? I have seen the 7424 and the 7335 models. Do they really leave a smooth like new finish or is it a million unorganized swirls? I have never seen a car finish that has...

I have three coats of Z on my car now and at night I can still see some swirls... the Z website says it may take up to 5 coats before they are gone. My question really is... will the swirls really become invisible? They are nothing more than from washing with the wrong type of materials... lemme...

How long does Zaino keep its gleem? (taking into consideration weather and location) I am new to the stuff, actually waiting for it to come in!! Thx!:xyxthumbs
