I didn't think white could reflect like that, the vette looks amazing. Oh and the other rides are amazing as well.

Thomas, All of them look great but I have a few questions,

Why are you..

Applying Zaino CS with machine? Ditto on Optimum OS? They are LSP, intended for 'hand application' only. I have to imagine that by machine you used quite a bit more product than you would have by hand. No big deal, just wondering why you decided this path?

Why did you select a moderate cutting pad (Orange CCS) for ZAIO? It's a 1 step. In my experience you either use a polishing or finishing pad with ZAIO to burnish out a 'glass like' finish. It has very little cutting capabilities. You didn't pick up any pad marring?

I use poli seal on a oranage pad to get a little more cut out of poli seal and have had no problem.

Interesting using pc to apply os, do you think a LC gray pad could work 2?

That white C6 looks great and that pos english car looks ok

All jokes aside it's nice to work on cars like that.

John, I wonder why this narrow minded thinking? If they work perfect with a DA then what? What's the contraproductive in it? Isn't Woolite "intended for" doing laundries? Or the PC for sanding???

..."intended for 'hand application' only"...

Booty time...

All look beautiful!

Great work. I'm also curious as to the machine with the Opti and Clear seal.

thanks everyone for the comments.

Opti Seal/Clear Seal doesn't know the difference between hand or mashine application.

As per directions, you work it into the paint evenly. I bet I use less product with the pc.

On another note, are we not to believe that one shouldn't mix different polishes on the same pad?????

Yet EC/OP is used by many of us with excellent results. How about IP/106 with rmg???

ZAIO - it is a paint cleaner so using an orange pad I feel and see better results. Still finishes down lsp ready. I do the same with Poli Seal

I work in ZAIO until it is gone/almost gone. No problemos so far.

PS: I also HATE applying lsps by hand. Takes me forever.

After looking at your pictures I don't think applying LSP by PC is causing you any problems. I wish I could get my white cars to look like yours, so wet and reflective.

Well done.
