Turned out good for a camera phone pic...
Went nuts on my car today, Optimum Hyper Compound with a green lite cut Propel pad, Optimum Compound with a white LC polishing pad, Mernzerna 106FF/RMG mix with a white LC Pad, Clearkote's Carnauba Moose with a Meguiars finishing pad, buffed off with Meguiars MF bonnets.
Took a couple shots with my regular camera before applying CMW, have those up early next week. Just thought for a camera phone using 'night mode' that shot came out pretty good. 
80% chance of storms tomorrow, not much hope in getting full car shots.  |

Around 3 times a year. It is parked outside 24/7 and it has relatively soft paint. Plus, the paint was hideous when I bought the car. Just trying to get it as close to perfection as I can with what I started with. |

what made you go with Opt Hyper with light cut pad ? I normally use Hyper for heavy swirls and bring it out with orange and even yellow pad. Interesting to hear back

Soft paint. Cutting pads leave a nasty haze on my 626. Hyper Compound and the green Propel pad are as heavy as I can go without ending up with horrible hazing on my car. |

I guess one can equate to using hyper compound with a black pad and a rotary at 1400  : |
