Polishing comments:

I tried M205 w/ Green CCS at speed 6 on the PC as a one step polish, it did pretty well on the soft clear, but would not get out 100% of the RIDS.



Car was an exterior detail, but I still gave the car a quick vac and cleaned all the inside glass.

looking awesome bryan! looks like you've been pretty busy lately...



Thanks Al! If everything works out, I will have 2 more corrections next week and a few to clean up for a carshow. So far I have an open week after that, which will be nice.

Looks outstanding, Bryan.



Thank you Hulk!
 
Just wow, Bryan. Awesome work! I'm coming out of Autopia hibernation, and it's still a bit surprising to read your write-ups and see "PC" in there. :D I'm convinced... As always, I'm awed and impressed by your work...thanks for the "e-mentoring" and the inspiration!

Jerry, Thank you very much for your kind words. A few months ago I would not of believed it either that a PC can do this much correction either. (not that this car needed but others did.)
