I need to start combing throught the Click N Brags more often. I missed alot of nice work. The full sun shots make it look like it's on fire. Incredible work and car. Have you ever thought about contracting your service with Ferarri dealers to do the prep work on their cars? This is the way a car should look and I bet not a single guy at their dealership know how to remotely make a car look this way.

Thanks again David for the complments! I have never really spoke to any dealerships but I do work for a couple of private service shops (well not really, but they say I do).

I have been lurking on the forum for a little while now, and have read a bunch of your details, and they all amaze me. This one is no exception and thanks for all the great educational information as well. Car looks unbelievable and your work is amazing as always.

German Green is the one that falls between Black and White correct in terms of cut correct? Or does it fall between Orange and White??

The 'German' or 'Euro" foam is kind of wierd.

It has slightly more mechanical action then the LC White polishing pad, but finishes out with out any noticable pad abrasion.

The other green foam that LC sells is open pore and very similar in feel to the yellow pads they sell. It is terrible (less cut and a worse finish then the yellow pad, IMO).

Interesting. When I wear out my white pads, I may have to replace them with the German Green Foam you mention. Once you have the German Green Foam I don't really see a need for having white pads.

I got try out the Green form pads from CMA and they work great IMO then the white LC CCS pad. To me it had more cut then the white pad , and finish out really nice.
