Well I ditched the wool pads and had some LC CSS pads come in yesterday. I'm going to see if I can find someone in my area thats expierenced to help me learn. I have a black 2005 Corvette that I just picked up and the owner must have run it through an auto wash twice a week a believe - talk about swirls and spiderwebs!
I also picked up some XMT#3 Swirl Remover and XMT#2 Fine Swirl Remover. I already have some Adams Polish and buttery wax. I picked up a bottle of REJEX as well for the wheels.
As far as the weight of the machine - I've been lifting weights for years now. I'm actually pretty jack diesel
Like I told coupe I'm going to give it a shot with the new pads and XMT. We'll see what happens.
