Paint Correction:After the car had been washed/dried and clay barred I went around to take sample readings of the clear coat. Nothing was out of the ordinary except the hood. Near the front of the hood I was getting readings below 100 microns, with 82.7 being the lowest. Other than that the average was around 125-130 microns, very good for a healthy BMW :)



I started out with a white Lake Country pad with 106FA just to see what the results would be. It improved the finish but did not remove the heavy RIDs still in the paint. I then tried the combination of a orange Lake Country pad and SIP on speeds of 800rpms --> 1500 --> 1800 --> 1100. Again, this improved the overall finish but would not get rid of the pesky RIDs still in the paint. Next I tried a purple Lake Country wool pad with Meguiar`s 105, and bam that was the perfect execution of cut. This is my second time using 105 and I`m totally convinced and hooked. What an amazing product, and I just have to figure out what to do with my three unopened bottles of SIP uhhhh.

Thank you for looking!!

Very nice transformation indeed! It`s amazing what can be done with red when polished properly...the color change is usually quite dramatic.

look great! did you have problems with 105 drying out too quickly when using it with PFW? It`s definitely not something i would use in the sun.
