My brother and I have had one heck of a time with my 06 Audi A4 (freaking Audi clear!). We only have a PC. But I am about to fork out the money for a flex if we fail again!
We have quite a few different pads (mostly waffle style, but ranging in colors and sizes). Are flat pads required? Also we only have 105, is 205 a required step? The only polish we currently have is Optimum.
We are giving it another go next weekend, and are determined to get it done.

Accumulator said:Noting that I always use final polishes after (original version) M105, wouldn't *soft* paints be more likely to require a follow-up? Not that I'm likely to use M105 on my softer-paint vehicles, but I'm just wondering :think:
lecchilo said:^^I'm not sure if Porsche mixed up his words or not, but while common sense indicates softer paints will need lighter polish to finish, I have had plenty experiences where something like SIP/white will finish out much nicer on ss or soft paints than on harder ones, whether it's holograms or swirls from the polish left on/in the harder paint and not the softer one... I can't be the only one to experience this...
Best example would be Audi paint as hard (especially VW as it's a b*tch to finish) and nissan 02-05 for soft...
