those were some bad ass swirls, great job

Very good job! Out of curiousity, did you try doing less passes of M105 on orange and step down to M205 on a white pad?

Whoaa great job man! Definitely love those half complete shows... really shows a nice comparison with the quality of your work..

Is the 50/50 shots after the 3-4 passes of M105 or have you also used the M205 as well?

BTW, nice work! I love seeing those 50/50 correction shots!

Actually the 50/50's are after 105 only. It really does finish down nice. I just couldnt leave it like that without adding the extra clarity that comes with a true finishing polish.

Ah, nice! I would have thought something that aggressive would have left a bit of micro marring. Looks great - I might have to give that product a try next time I do my car.

It's a bit finicky and quick to flash off and dry. but once you get the hang of it

Very nice job. Loving the 105 eh? I was using it today on my brothers new GTI ( dont ask ) with A GI wool pad (again, don't ask) and could almost get it to finish down LSP ready. Car looks awesome. Owner must have been ecstatic. Great job again.

I do really dig the 105. I think the non-deminishing abrasives are a bit more forgiving then diminishing. That being said I really want to try some Menzerna product.

Cant wait to see a write up on the GTI

[Roach]

I'm really digging the 105 too. It finishes down extremely well and 205 works well at clearing up any remaining haze.

what does that barebones wheel well product do exactly ? thanks

[nonyo]

Nice job. I'm also impressed with how you got the photos to be so clear.

[604_Snooze]

I think the CG barebone makes the wheel well look darker, just for appearance.
