Cool man, i've always liked looking at pictures of member's detailing supplies. I am guessing you went with the pad kit from CMA?? Heres a little tip for you with the PC that might be helpful. Instead of using the handle, keep your other hand gripped to the top(head) of the PC. This way you can tell how much pressure you are applying to the surface. I read this on Autopia from a Meguiar's detailing day a couple months. This was how they were teaching people to use the PC. I used my PC a couple of times since recieving it, and used this technique every time. I really became comfortable with it and will prob use it for now on. Anyway just an idea, good luck with your new toy!

It's all discussed in this thread. All the pads are the pads in the link in my first post.
 
Well, the EX is drying right now.:cool

Here are my initial impressions:

SSR1: Worked well, but I think I was expecting it to be more abrasive. I still have little swirls. I can see them when I look at the reflection of the lightbulb in my garage. But the true test will be after everything is done and I take it out in the sunlight.

PPP: Worked very well. Easy on, easy off. It even took the annoying water spots off of the lettering on my Gold Acura license plate frames. Great product.

PC 7424: Very Simple to use. There were even a few times that becuase my arm was tired, I used it one handed for a minute or two. Great buffer.

EX: Well, I've only put it on and I'm letting it dry for 30 minutes. If it does not rain (which I don't think it will) I'll pull out the Legend after the EX and take a few pics.

Tomorrow's plan: Natty's

:cool
 
Had to leave so I couldn't post these earlier today:
