Question though guys. if using a PC the swirls are only removed temporarly correct? Only a rotary can get them completely out. Right?

As long as its in the clear coat, and only light surface swirls...an orbital will do just fine, and will remvoe the swirls. If you can feel a scratch with your fingernail, the only rear cure for it will be to have a rotory buffer go over it, and wear it down to smooth. And if you see primer or bare metal...call your local body shop, cause nothing is going to get that out.

Hard to imagine that you were able to get such great results with the pad included with the PC. Good work!!!!

Once you get the pads, you'll be able to make it even better (not that you've got that much to go).

Once again...nice work!!

I know, i was preaty amazed myself. Which is why im not complaining about the small micro swirls that are still visable.

Once my stuff from CMA gets here, im going to run the SMR2.0 over the car with the Orange pad, probibly twice. Then give 1, possibly two (depending on results) runs with SEPC on the wite pad. Then a once over with Megs SCG, and top with S100, followed by a seconed coat 24 hours later. THe seconec coat of S100 seems to REALLY help with making the paint lustrious, and very deep.

Like i said above, caint wait for the stuff from CMA to get here.

PC claims its a 6" polishing pad...by my ruller it measures about 5 3/8 inches.
The 7336SP is a 6" sander/Polisher...so it comes with the 6" balancing weight.

My local lowes doesnt carry the balancing weights...so i couldent get a 5" one. And besides that...ill probibly never use another small pad again once i get my 6 inchers from CMA. So its really not that big of an issue for me to worry about.
