    I`ve been spending a lot more time on the road lately and anticipate that it will continue. I`ve been using the heck out of the six disc CD changer and have been wondering about this new XM which is music downloaded from a satellite. It is a subscription service and has <strong class=`bbc`>zero[/b] commercials.

    <em class=`bbc`>clic pic[/i]


    Can anyone offer any feedback on XM?

    Pontiac G8 GXP

    Not a lot of before pictures because the car was in pretty good shape to start off with. The car only has a little over 19,000 miles.







    Polishing was done with a Flex 3401 with M205 on a white pad. When I did my test spot I shot a mist of #34 on the pad and just used 4 pea size dots of M205 rather then saturating the whole pad. To my surprise this method worked very well to clean up the fine scratches.

    After polishing I applied one coat of Duragloss #501, followed that up with #601 bonding agent, then 2 coats of #111














    I was pretty happy with the results for a white car.

    That`s incredible for white. Nice "pop" restored to that paint my friend.

    I need to try the "non" KBM method and experiment a little more with M205. Good idea to lube the pad up a little more with M34.

    White is a difficult color to make pop, but you clearly made that happen with this car. Great work!

    Lubing the pad with M34 is the PAC method.

    Thanks Barry, I want to install a few more lights but I usually work with the door open and that creates an issue for light placement.
