Need some advice. Last year, I did my '01 VW for the first time with the following:

1st round:

- 2 passes entire car with 6.5" LC orange on PC speed 6 using #83 (little pressure, 1 - 2 inches / sec)
- 1 or 2 passes with 6.5" LC white on PC speed 6 using KAIO for follow-up

I wasn't totally satisfied so I did:

2nd round:

- 2 passes entire car with 4" LC orange on PC speed 6 using SIP (medium+ pressure, 1 - 2 inches / sec)

Do you think I still have plenty of clear for me to start this all over again with a rotary? I don't have a paint meter to tell, and ultimately if I screw up it's only my car. I was planning on maybe doing SIP with 6.5" orange (via the pyramid technique) on some areas and then maybe going over it with 6.5" white with one or two passes using 106ff like you guys said (using the Wal-Mart Prep-All or real Prep-Sol wipe-downs). Then maybe stepping down again with 6.5" black. Is this overkill or should I go directly to black?

I'm not familiar with the amount of clear VW typically throws on their vehicles, so I just want to be sure it's okay, even though I understand the PC doesn't grind down the clear that much to begin with.
