Thanks for the insight.

RAG, even though I knew they were similar, I thought the SRC polish was finer when compared to 106 (3000 grit vs. 2500). Do you think I should wait and get Menzerna Powergloss and try that first? I truly believe that the other fine wash induced scratches will easily be removed by the 106. I am not sure how much of the rock scratches I will be able to correct. I can barely feel them with my fingernail so unfortuneately they might require professional work. I have read that the 106 can be worked down to a gloss that is ready to seal, so I guess I don't have to worry about getting another final polish and either use the 216 and/or the 2180 on top of the 106 will be sufficientwork?

Bence, I have read a lot of your posts (and others) in regards to the FK products and I am fired up about trying them! I was going to go a different route until I read more about them so hopefully they will be as advertised.

Also, at some point I do want to get a rotary, but I want to get some initial experience using a DA before I get into the big leagues.

Thanks for the input and I will try to take some pics during the process and afterwards. I can't wait to tell my wife that I need most of Friday or Saturday to work on the car.
