Finally got my Shmitt GS as well as a bottle of awaited M105! Ryanflemington on here also got his UDM, with a bunch of pads, and the XMT polish kit so we went to work on our cars. I had never actually polished the right side of my car until today. A couple before shots of my paint...

Wow, I absolutely love the flake in this paint, wish it was the colour on my car haha. Car was overall in very good condition, and just needed spot correction mostly for a few scratches, and to clean up the very very minor spider webbing. Couldn't get very many good after shots due to the...

Prev owner did some sloppy touch up, and there were a bunch of chips on the drivers side fender, door and rear quarter, so I touched em up last week, wetsanded with 2000, and today I compounded with Hi Temp Extreme Cut and a wool pad via rotary, then Optimum Polish on a white LC pad to finish...

This one took me awhile, and I still couldnt get it 100%...Chevy paint was harder than I thought! Probably ended up with 85% cleared in most areas, a definite improvement, and will surely help the owner sell the car. I started out with Hi Temp Xtreme Cut on orange LC VC and CCS pads via...

The only place I've found selling M105 online is ADS, and they don't do international shipping. Anyone out there who knows of a vendor that carries it and will ship to Canada? (Or maybe someone who doesn't want their bottle anymore? :D )

The car had heavy oxidization that we removed mostly by hand a few days ago, but the car still looked like crap. Today, I taught him a lot of theory, and showed him how to use the PC to polish paint! Hood was done with SSR2.5 on a white LC VC pad via PC, and followed up with Megs #9...

Started cleaning up the bike since I won't be insuring it for another couple months. Plastics were polished with OP via rotary on a white LC CCS pad, and topped with S100. Haven't done the whole bike yet, so stay tuned for more updates. Befores Afters

Wasnt too too too bad, as it was detailed by another Autopian (mcnab) back in the summer, but still managed to get a lot of marring in the last half year or more. Probably got 85-90% of the marring out, but this one had clearcoat failing on the hood, just like the other two Civics of this gen...

Had all of my stuff in boxes in the garage along with empty boxes and a lot of other junk in there since we just moved back to this house, so I went out today and got some cheap shelving, and some bins to store MF's and pads in, as well as another 500w halogen. Heres a before shot of a the...

Went to remove the oxidization off my spraybombed hood today, put some s100 on afterwards and I got this problem. Seems like wherever it was applied and wiped off, it left "stains" or darker and lighter patches on the paint. I tried some QD to see if it was just residue, didn't help at all...

More progress and photos down the page I have the whole week off work, so I'm probably gonna do a lil bit of the car each day. Started off tonight with the left fender, front bumper and part of the spraybombed hood. Now, it seems like this left fender, and the drivers door are about 3x...

Picked this up yesterday, paint is a nightmare, lots of deep swirling (I prolly only got 80% out right now) and the mirrors and hood are spraybombed black. :think: Only did the right side of the car right now because I'm too tired and cold to do the rest. Didn't get any pics of the interior...

Finally had a chance to detail my bike today, its been in need of some TLC for a while now as you'll see in the pics. Process Wash Clay Whole bike degreased and cleaned with 75/25 split degreaser and Megs HR cleaner. All paint + plastics polished with High Temp Xtreme Cut via rotary on a...

So, I painted my hood, which resulted in MAJOR orange peel. Starting things off, wetsanded with 1000, 1500, then 2000 (even 1000 was taking FOREVER), but didnt' get everything completely level, partially because of time, and partially because I didn't wanna sand too thin. I only polished...

Didn't turn out all that well, was rushed and realized afterwards that I was using a TOUCH UP hvlp with a 1.0mm tip! Arg! Oh well, at least my bumper is red. Now to get rid of the rest of this orange peel... Did some light wetsanding on some spots earlier and polished with HTEC, and OP.

My hood is flat black, spraypaint job I think. Previous owners friend did it for some obscure reason. Decided to try wetsanding down to the original paint under it today, and got some results, but it wasn't worth it. Spray job was so uneven that I'd be hitting red while still trying to get...

Just picked this up on Tuesday, finally got a chance to detail er today. Don't mind the hood + bumper, getting painted soon ;) Process was: Wash Clay High Temp Xtreme Cut on a white LC VC pad X2 via rotary Topped with S100 Wheels dressed with E1 Trim done with Stoners Trim Shine...

The paint on this car was terrrrrrrrrrrible, wait no thats an understatement. Chips of paint missing everywhere, repainted panels, some clearcoat failure, scratches, dents etc etc. Did my best, probably only got 80-90% of the damage out, but looks a lot better than before. Wheels took an hour...

Well, I don't really have any before shots, because I couldnt get any direct paint condition shots today for some reason, so here are the afters. I love soft Honda paint :D Process: Wash Clay Optimum Polish on white LC VC pad via rotary Topped with S100 Tires dressed w/ E1 Windows...

Looking to get some new pads for my rotary, but I haven't been following up on all the new and best pads these days. I've been using a 6.25" LC backing plate with 7.5" LC VC pads so far. What are some other pads that are some of your top picks that I could use on my 6.25" backing plate?
