FINALLY Results :D

Yay I finally have some results I like and can live with!! I took a trip to beasties house the other day and he gave me some pointers. He did mention that the scratches did look a little deep and he tried DACP and it minimized them. He only did this on a small portion of the hood. I got some DACP from him and gave it a shot tonight! I used the DACP 83 on LC orange then followed with 83 on polishing then with #9 on polishing. Finished with 2 coats of Z5 but I am going to add more tomorrow. Here is a before and an after. You can notice that the scratches are still there, they look to be pretty deep. What would a good filler be? Also I want to get some FPII to clear up the micromarring.

BEFORE:

AFTER:

well since im still a newb, i do like it. i found it cut better than ssr2.5. i know i need to pick up like ssr1 or something to hit those remaining scratches. they look deep. a few passes did nothing on them but on the little minor ones i saw a big improvement.

For something with long-lasting fillers, look at Swirlbuster polish.
