That looks great...nice work! Now with all of the initial time invested, it's just a matter of maintenance cleaning.

You don't happen to live in South Jersey do you? I just posted in the Del Val forum about a really clean AP2 that I saw last night. From the pics I think it is yours.

Nice RIO, this is one of the best shots I've seen of a rio. You really got the pearl effect on camera. Did you not feel that the SIP with the orange pad was too much for light swirls? I always thought SIP was for for heavy swirls.

I thought it might be too much too but I tried different combinations of menzerna polishes and pads working my way up the scale and once I got to the orange pad and the SIP it was enough to take the scratches out....I only did one pass with the SIP and it took out 98% of the scratches...maybe the scratches were a little worse than light scratches but definately not heavy by any stretch.
