Products of the day...Propel2 yellow pad and SSR2.5. I was able to reduce the swirls substantially each time with no hazing. At first I was worried that I may need to go with SSR3 for the hard Corvette clear, but SSR2.5 pulled through for me like a charm. The P2 stood up to many hours of polishing and lots of pressure, and continued to impress me throughout the day.
 
Very nice work. Out of curiosity why VM by hand? Its so much faster and IMO yields better results by PC and a LC white VC pad (or any polishing pad for that matter.)

because sometimes it's sexy to rub it in by hand.. :woot2:
 
Beautiful glossy finish on the car, is lovely! The completed bonnet pic, the paint looks soaking wet, fantsatic. Good half and half shots too, showing the difference made. Excellent work!

Using my Wolfgang Polishin' Pal, the time difference versus using the PC is minimal. With the PC, there are still some areas that need to be done by hand.



Setec, I believe the orange feels stiffer, but the yellow is more aggressive due to its open-cell structure. Maybe Patrick will give us an answer here.

Ive just come to love the PC for applying 2nd to LSP and LSP's. So fast and it allows me to take more time focusing on the smaller details that the client might not notice but I expect.
