Ok guys, we're all done with the Golf (well, for the most part). It took us a long time to do it (our first time doing this process) and our final results will get better with each car we do, but I think the results we got from this car are simply amazing. I didn't notice until we started that this car had some oxidation on the roof and the rear quarter panels. The DACP really came through for us here.
the process we used was a bit different than planned. We were short on time, so we went straight from DACP to wax. We still got great results. We used a cutting pad on the roof and rear quarter panels first, and then went over it a second time using a polishing pad. on the rest of the body, we just used a polishing pad. we did two passes on the hood.
Here are some pics:

After:
Lessons I've learned from this:
-When you think you've got enough light, GET MORE!
-Get more pads, and some MF bonnets.
-Smack friend if he lifts PC off car while it's still running (this was messy)
Overall, we're quite pleased with the results, though there's still some light marring in the paint. Hopefully, we can refine our technique and make it go much faster than it did.
Sorry, the pics are all tight shots.. should've taken some full bodies.
