Please forgive the newb-ish use of the app, I honestly hadn`t noticed the tag it adds to the end. If I can figure it out, I`ll fix it. Thanks for the heads up.

Anyway, great work! Keep them coming.

I will admit this Audi was a bit stubborn to do the correction.
Someone asked once "What is your favorite compound/polish?"
I answered "The one that works on the car I`m working on."

What I found that finally worked on this paint (for the most part) was...

CORRECTION:
Rupes 21 w/5" Backing Plate and Kevin Brown washer mod.
> LC Thin Purple wool > M205
and/or
> Megs 5" mf correcting disc > D300
and a few other assorted pad/products for "problem" areas.

POLISHING:
Megs 5" mf finishing discs > Carpro Essence
followed with 5" Carpro Gloss Pad > Carpro Essence

Now for the Tapatalk app.
In the Tapatalk app go to Me > Settings > Signature > Slide it OFF
That turns off their "advertisement". On the other hand I have seen...
Modified signatures like..."Sent from Tapatalk while pooping..." (GRIN)
__________

Thank you...I`ll try...Sadly, I set my standards higher than most folks.
That being the case, I do loose folks that want an inexpensive solution.

I lost one the other day..."It has very minor swirls...it should take you 20 minutes."
When I looked at it, it looked like it had been washed 100 times with a Brillo pad.
I did a test spot...it improved a little but it was not something that I would release.
I know the time, effort and the cost of what it will take to make it what is could be.

I have learned an important lesson...When they drop it off...They are Ray Charles...
When they pick it up and they turn into Sherlock Holmes with a magnifying glass.

So IMHO if it`s a job worth doing...It`s worth doing right.
My name is on every job I do and my reputation is only as good as my last detail.

Again, thank you for your kind words. It`s a sense of accomplishment and a passion.
