Gotcha. I know I went pretty good on it this fall, and still was left with a lot of swirls. I have Mezerna Super Finish and Super Intensive. What is something with more cut? Also have Yellow and Orange LC pads.

You need to blacktop or concrete that main driveway to the house...

LOL. What you don't see is that our driveway is a huge loop. To pave that all would be enough to do a large parking lot. It's not worth it for me, lol. Plenty dusty around anyways, especially in the spring and fall.

Currently these are the stock wheels Bill. I have a set of Camaro wheels waiting, with maybe a surprise or two in the wings.

Menzerna Powergloss will cut like crazy, but still realistically with SIP and yellow pad you should be a able to really make a huge improvement. When you are polishing does the pad still spin or just oscillate?

Gee, that's a great question. I'd have to look at my polisher, which is 100 miles away, lol. I thought it slowly spun?
I did get a huge improvement last fall, but that was making kinda milky paint clear. We'll see what I can do after graduation.

It should spin and orbit at the same time, if it doesn't spin you are putting too much pressure on it.

Ahhh. I don't think I put much pressure on it, I usually use one hand and just guide it with the other. But I'll pay attention to that.
