Nick,

The car looks fantastic. Glad I saw these pics `cause I have something to shoot for. My father in-law has an `04 black Vette that is in pretty bad condition. I`ve been waiting to get a few less expensive cars under my belt with the PC before I started work on the Vette. His has some really bad swirl marks so it`ll be a challenge. Hope I can get close to doing as well as you did.

By the way, I was wondering what kind of pad you were using with the PB 2.5. I had some great results on a green mustang using PB 2.5 and a wool pad from CMA.

Car looks great. Your neighbor owes you a cold one...or two...or six!

Mike, i use the sonus orange pad. I got the sonus pads a while back cause i heard some good things about them. I think they are ok. i like their green and blue pad but my orange one seems to rip easily around where the edge of the velcro. I think though that i am gonna try some of the dual action pads from autogeek. (since they are in Fl it is nice to pay ground shipping but get my stuff within a day :headbang ) I have a white pad that i use for my sealants and stuff that i really like.

Thanks Nick,

But I`m sure a lot has to do with your process too. :bigups As stated above your neighbor surely owes you for this one:)
