try to keep the buffer flat at all times. I switched from big 7.5 inch pads to 5.5 inch pads on my rotary and i like the control WAY more.

I am completely polishing my mustang right now. I am about 15 hours in and have about 15 left to go. I am still in the Middle step with Menzerna SIP with Orange pad.

yea its taking longer than we expected, but it is coming out better than i expected too... Once i get some real time, I think i may try and get my hands on a porter cable and take a week or so to do the whole car, but until then, this will look 1000 times better!

Ok, Im wanting to do a clay bar, scratch removal, polish and wax. What do you guys suggest is the best to go with? I have some pretty good (or bad) swirls in the paint and want to get rid of that. The weathers kinda harsh here in Sicily, with all the dirt and ash in the air. Just need some ideas of whats the best...

Menzerna Menzerna Menzerna!!! OMG!!!

I wish i would have hopped on the menzerna bandwagon a long time ago.

I am playing with menzerna polishes on my car right now.... liking the results. Germans know what they are doing.
