Great job Bryan!
Wait till you see it in the sun and it should sparkle excellent.
I used the SIP this weekend on a 99 Passat Blue and I did not have many pad hop or cake up problems. I think the humidity has a big role on this polish after reviewing it on other uk forums. I shook the hell out of the bottle too for 20 minutes just to make sure everything is well shooken up. SIP= shaken intense polish
Presta 1500 on a wool does just glide over the surface easily and smooth. Doesn't really get any smoother than that.
Also John was using ZPC polish on a lambswool pad with super excellent results from his last C+B. I love ZPC on a white lc pad via zpc as a finish polish. ZAIO does also do a great job at this and also deepens the paint as well. I use either or on every one of my details with excellent results!
Again great job and especially on those harsh scratches. I know Dodge has hard paint too.
