Polishing comments:

I tried M205 w/ Green CCS at speed 6 on the PC as a one step polish, it did pretty well on the soft clear, but would not get out 100% of the RIDS.



Car was an exterior detail, but I still gave the car a quick vac and cleaned all the inside glass.

Just wow, Bryan. Awesome work! I`m coming out of Autopia hibernation, and it`s still a bit surprising to read your write-ups and see "PC" in there. :D I`m convinced... As always, I`m awed and impressed by your work...thanks for the "e-mentoring" and the inspiration!
