I should mention that the graphite grey is a metallic dark grey.. barely lighter than a lexus dark grey..

So is the Optimum Polish with white pad a good choice? Is it newbie proof? I've used my PC 7424 on my last car (black...) and had difficulties with it.. I was using the Sonus SFX2 that came with my PC and was not all that impressed. I noticed that it literally took minutes to break down.. and sometimes never seemed to break down at all.

What kind of pad? LC? Sonus?

Any recommendations of where to buy?

Sorry about all the questions - I'm not a complete newbie (been reading here for a long time), but want to make sure I make the right choices from the start on my new baby. I'm terribly nervous about making it worse. I mean, under the halogen I see NO marks when I look at the paint head on. But like I said, when I look at an angle 5 feet away from the light its minor scratch lines galore!

Thanks!
Well i'm gonna be polishing my black suv tonight and I guess i'll post the results. Here is the original post I have CLICK HERE . Tonight because my paint is not the greatest shape, I will be using Hi-Tech Extreme Cut with Optimum Polish with an Orange pad. Then i'll probably put on a coat of Klasse AIO then P21S Wax. At least I think that is what i'm gonna do. Stay posted.

Setup is a PC 7336sp with LC Orange and White pads.

SSR1 with a white LC pad took out dealer swirls on my brother's new Honda Fit. Granted Honda paint is soft.

I didn't experience much dusting either.
