Got a call to do a brand new 2005 E200 Compressor. The paint was still in excellent condition except for a few small hairline scratches due to washing. Customer wanted the car to look "bright" rather than deep, wet looking, so i choose Zaino instead of souvern. He was very happy with the look...

A while back, i bought the lake country pad kit from CMA. Included was 2 microfiber buffing pad. All this time i've only been using CBT and my hand to remove the waxes. So i was wondering if the microfiber buffing pad that's included is safe enough to use? Or will it be safer for me to just...
