Wow, great results Joe.
What made you decide to sand that? Would a lighter compound followed by polish have worked as well?
Looks like you are using wool pad, correct?

What products did you use? I noticed you using a 4" pad w/ rotary. What speed do you recommend for such a small pad? It turned out great!

Maaaan, I wouldn`t put sandpaper to my TT let alone a Lambo. :nervous2:
You`re a brave man who obviously knows what He`s doing and has the confidence to do so. Amazing work - I`d sooo love to have a drive in that machine :goodjob
