Some 106ff/RMG mix coming up next.
I can see why you hate that mix so much, those pictures are making me hate it as well.
I wonder if I can get the same results with a PC. I doubt it.

I tried with a PC at first and it was just taking too long, so I did the first step with the hitachi and then the PC to finish.
On this "softer" inifiniti clear you can do pretty good with the PC, but something this severe would take many passes with high pressure applied to your PC.

I`ve noticed that Japanese clear is generally softer than the others. I worked on a C230k the other day and that clear was one tough bugger. I got over it and just used M80 to cover things up lol. On my car (IS300) the clear is soft so I can tackle things quickly with a PC.

If you hate it so much then it my way, along with the 106FF :)
Looks great - amazing that you were able to finish down so well with such a strong polish.
I haven`t tried RMG with 106FF as I have the Blackfire SRC which is basically 106ff with some extra oils...but it probably all works out the same.
Just thought of something - on all but the softest of clears, I`ve able to finish halogram-free on black in two steps with even using PG/RMG with a light compounding pad and then going straight to FPII - all with a rotary. That`s the power of PG - heavy compound that finishes down with minimal halograms.

Rag, I am still learning with the rotary. I am embarrassed to post the pics after the rotary step, but what the heck:

:sadpace:
I thought no way that 106ff would get that out, so thats why I used the IP/RMG again w/ the PC.
So I have excel P2: yellow, orange, green and blue. Think I could of 2 stepped it with the process you mention above and these pads?
In this pic the rear door has been done with 106ff/rmg and the front door is just ip/rmg. With the 106 I used a rotary and green excel pad. She gets 3x of ZFX`d Z5pro tomorrow am.
