Check out the wool pads at CycloToolmakers and keep them in mind. I do think you'll find that the Cyclo isn't as aggressive as you might first expect, and might not be as aggressive as you'd sometimes *like*. But better safe than sorry when starting off with machine polishing.

I just looked at the caddy with a halogen on it and it only needs very minor correction. .. I'm hoping the pp with green does the job.

If not, the Pasta Intensiv/green pad combo is sorta mild, considering how aggressive the Pasta Intensiv is (in its own right). One pass with that, followed by the PP wouldn't be that big a deal if necessary.

I'll report back in a few weeks to let you know how it turns out.

Hope it goes well, and I expect that it will. If something does *not* work right, stop and ask for advice. And I strongly encourage you to do *one* panel and then inspect-inspect-inspect to make sure everthing is going the way you think it is. What you *don't* want is to do the whole vehicle and *then* realize that things weren't going right.
Heh heh, don't let the above caveat make you nervous..I just kinda when somebody says they "messed up the whole car" and now they need help. Mess up just one panel and it's no big deal, you can figure out what went wrong, correct it, and not have the same problem again.
