finally used my porta-cable for the first time.

well it took me about 8 hours to do but this is what i did.
adam's clay bar
3m fine cut compound with a black (very fine) foam pad
3m swirl mark remover for dark colored cars with another black pad
3m hand glaze- applied and removed by hand
3m liquid wax with a white ultra fine foam pad

i got all the pads from adam's garage, and the clay. the car came out really nice, but you can still see some fine scarthes in the paint if you get up really close with light on it. im guessing that next time i should mabye use a a slightly rougher pad and compound.. what do u guys think?

i was suprised that the compund and wax came off so easily.. the swirl mark remover and hand glaze dried out so fast and was such a b-tch to get off that i only did one panel at a time when i was using it so it didnt get too dry.. all things considered, it was a pain to do, but it came out nice.

How long did you work the SMR? What speed did you have the PC at?
