Impressions:

Paint was rock hard, swirls were not too hard to remove but RIDS were a PIA and many were in tight areas or edged ares that I worked with the 4 inch pads but too many edges and what not so didn't want to push it. Was using PC on 6 with 4 inch pad and RIDS were still there. Tried M105 straight and Optimum Compound with only a small dent. Customer was very happy, I just wish I could have gotten some of these RIDS out in these areas. Because of the body lines and tight areas I found it difficult, I needed a tiny DA with a 1.5 inch pad..........lol
