Will D151 finish down ok with an orange pad or should I use a white one? And....Can I top it with BFWD right away, or does it need some time to cure?

Here are two brushes that I like to use when cleaning interiors. This one is made by Park Tool Co. and can be found in most bike shops. I like it for it's stiff bristles and "hook" end which is good for getting junk out from seat tracks. This one is great for brushing out the area...

I'm familiar with two and three step corrections, but have not done a one step yet. I'm doing a car for a friend that just wants his car to shine...no correction wanted. The victim is a silver 10 year old A6. I'm thinking 205/white pad/Flex DA. Any suggestions?

Is it best to use "as is", or apply something like DWG first?

After polishing my car (w/ rotary) I came across some areas that had a small amount of splatter from the SIP that I had used. Probably had been there for a few days drying. Thought I could just spray something on this and wipe away. NOT! Tried: APC 10:1, APC 4:1, Prepsol, IPA/H20. Nothing seemed...

What works best for hand finishing/polishing areas that can't be accessed with a buffer?

I am wondering what other people use to label thier spray bottles ? I have been using Avery labels and just print up whatever I need. Problem is that if it gets wet, then it starts peeling off or the ink starts to run. Any ideas?
