Perhaps the Makita is there for more severe areas of defects - deeper scrathces for example, as I generally have two rotaries and a PC wired up and working on a detail as I vary what I use from panel to panel, defect to defect.

I would suggest you yourself try on soft paint with a PC the PO106FA, worked thoroughly until the reisdue goes clear and see what defect correction you can achieve. I can quite believe this was achieved by PC, but I for one will now be very wary of posting pictures of my details and listing the techniques I use if essentially I risk being accused of not being completely honest, I take that very seriously.
Im not making that implication. I just want more opinions on the matter. I just know some members on here have done many of cars that I have witnessed on the forum for the last 3 years none of which I can remember made those type of corrections with a finishing polish alone. There hasnt been many other opinions on this matter other than a few and my obvious ranting. I have seen your posts and threads and have nothing at all against your words and opinions. You seem to be well spoken and intelligent. You also seem to love detailing as do I.

***MAYBE*** I wouldnt have these opinions if the orginal poster wasnt a vendor selling every product he used. Im a marketing major in college and for some reason always second guess some intentions of businesses. If a retailer came on this forum and starting showing pics of results of product "X," im sure everyone would be skeptical. Like I said, the original poster has a lot of stake in his thread making it look like 106FA can make corrections like that. I would also like to see how his process of using the menzerna pad and 106FA took 6-8 microns. That is a LOT taken off for a PC with the combo even for soft paint.

With all the recent talks and witnessing of posts/spams by random people, Im even more skeptical of business related posts on an internet forum. You have to realize a forum has HUGE potential for marketers and businesses to generate sales. You ever see the box of some wax products or other products (usually on the older products), they always show a before/after of a faded hood and basically allows people to believe that the wax alone removed the oxidation and defects. I believe there are certain ethics to follow when marketing...seeing the thread simply raised my eye brow that no other thread has done to me.

I appreciate the fact that everyone that is defending him and Im sure even my reputation is now "faded" but I look at his thread and see possible deception. Im not disputing the results are stunning! BUT I dont think all facts are being presented in his depiction.

No hard feelings against anyone.
