The aftershot with poorboys had some swirls showing still... What pad where you using and was that SSR2.5?
Ha, I think those are swirls reflecting from the ceiling texture.

If youre referring to the one before I used 106FA, those weren't really swirls, it looked like someone had gone over the car with fine steel wool. As you can see though, the 106 cleaned that up very well. I highly recommend it. I was using the yellow pad, then orange pad, and yes it was with 2.5

The reason why I asked is because I am planning on getting a PC7424 with Poorboy's SSR2.5 and SSR1 with LC CCS orange, white and blue pads.

I have very minor swirls and nothing like what was on the black S2000 you had there, but just wondering if the above pads and polish would be good enough.

Get a yellow pad in there as well and youll be good to go. Id also recommend looking into at least getting Menzerna 106FA Nano Polish. It picks up where the 1.0 leaves off, you won't regret it.

That last picture is so cool! You can actually see the paint strokes in the ceiling. Great job!

Matt, awesome work!!

It's too bad you can't really get that level of satisfaction out of Sebring Silver Metallic.

However, my wife's Accord Coupe is in need of it.

Wish I were still in TN, Id be up for a road trip to Charlotte. And youd be very surprised what I can do with Sebring...
