Thanks for the input guys. Mike - I`m grateful for everything I`ve learned since lurking/joining here and AG. The test spot is something that never occurred to me when I started out 10+ years ago - All I knew was what I`d read in the catalog. I do this, then this, then this...
Oh the things you learn. Now I know to start building the game plan with a test spot(s) before going large scale. I`m looking forward to finding out how the different (test) areas respond based on factory/respray.
Chad - Thanks for the advice on the pads as well. I don`t as much free time to dedicate to the process as I`d like, so if there`s a learning curve with the white pads, I feel like it`s best to pass on those for now.
Not that the microfiber pads are hard, but they`re different enough I`m still getting used to them. I think mainly I`m worried about going too aggressively (pressure or speed) with them and wrecking them from inexperience.
I used to be able to get behind the buffer a lot more often; these days I refer to detailing as my aspirational hobby - I`m aspiring to have the time to make detailing my hobby again.
I think I`m going to look into picking up some Fast Correcting Cream through the trade/sample threads - I just can`t justify getting a whole bottle for how much I`ll use/be able to use it.
