the shit i use is formulated with menzerna. i just had to bring out the compound which i've never used. so now i'm using a compound with a YELLOW pad (never used a yellow pad), finishing polish on a white and a gloss polish on a black.

WOW this car needs work

Looks nice bro! Do you notice any difference?

do you usually use orange for cutting?

Nebster · 03-14-2009, 06:20 PM

i usually do yes. I've never come accross swirls this deep to necessitate a yellow pad

J BONE · 03-14-2009, 06:22 PM

Ben, was talking with George at DI and he recommends the 4" pads instead of the 6.5". Any thoughts on this? I will send you a copy of his response to me. Thanks. Hope things are going well for ya!!

Nebster · 03-14-2009, 06:23 PM

after the 3 stage job

i'm much happier. should have the paint correction done about midnight at this rate

J BONE · 03-14-2009, 06:24 PM

Nice! Looking good!!

UdubBadger · 03-14-2009, 06:24 PM

the strange thing about those swirls is that I usually go to a touchless car wash up at school. The few times I haven't I've gone to a good $20 a wash place down here but I guess $20 doesn't mean they don't swirl your paint. Any luck with those scratches on the trunk?

Even though it maybe good, the shit that touches your paint is full of crap. Plus, I doubt they use MF towels to dry it. They usually have a "bin" full of regular towels that they use. And they NEVER go in the direction of the paint. The swirls happen because they dry it in circles. Will look awesome when it is done, jealous!!

J BONE · 03-14-2009, 06:30 PM

Got a guy interested in selling his M6 reps but looking for OEM wheels. Not sure what style though. Anyone have a set of OEM's sitting around that they want to get rid of? Not sure on the price yet either.

that figures... maybe i'll just stick to touch free/air dry as much as I can from now on and take it to Ben once or twice a year

Nebster · 03-14-2009, 07:33 PM

UdubBadger · 03-14-2009, 07:33 PM
