Nice turnaround. Did you experience any micromarring with white pad? I used po106 on my black clear and it left some fine micromarring. Had spoiledman clean up the scratches using soft green lc pads on 106. He told me the white pad was to rigid for the ceramiclear to use with 106f.

How come you apply the tire dressing before the paintwork is done?

Car looks great though!

i always apply dressing prior to any black surfaces so if any polish or wax get on them its easy to remove. i also applied another coat of dressing last. No micromarring with the po85 and white pad. the polish is to fine and the cermiclear is hard, i even have done po85 on a white pad on my jet black bmw and it still comes out perfect!

1st of all; looks pretty good.

2 however, i would like to point out that your washing techniques are not correct. Instead of going around in circles which (if there is any dirt trapped beneatht the mitt) will create circular swirls as supposed to up and down swirl marks which are less noticeable. So make sure on vertical(doors) panels you go up and down.

Hope that helps,
Dan
