Just got my Tropicare package!!! Just got my Tropicare Package today. It was $236 bucks but I think it was well spent. My car looks so terrible right now. Even after washing and waxing it is just so scratched and scuffed up all over its actually embarrassing. Its snowing right now but once I get a clear day I will get going and show before and after pictures. I'm assuming it goes...

We look forward to your progress as you get started with your project. Feel free to ask any questions anytime. You can learn the capability of the PC and Menzerna on a small section until you are satisfied with the result. Any stubborn or deeper scratches may require longer buffing time to improve or remove them. Be patient and be prepared for the marked improvement in your paint's condition.

the different color pads have a different cutting/correcting ability and uses.
red-for final coats of wax or sealants
blue-for finishing glazes, liquid waxes, sealants
gray-removes buffer swirls, has zero cut, for waxes sealants and glazes
white-very fine cutting, for polishes, sealants
orange- for removing light to moderate scratches
yellow-removes oxidation, swirls, scratches, for compounds
yellow being the pad with the biggest cutting ability

More foam pad info Lake Country has just developed a new series of pads called "KOMPRESSOR". We will soon have them all of them available through the Tropi Care site. It now features a hybrid purple foamed wool (more aggressive then yellow) for use to attack tougher scratches on harder clear coats. They also come in white, black and red. Other cool things about these new pads are that the slotted pads make full contact to adjust to changing body contours. This results in less splatter and more consistent finishes.
SS DNA:
The Menzerna SIP would make a marked difference on your car or any harder clear coat surface if there are noticeable circular scratches when it is seen out in the sun.

Thanks Steve! Yeah, there is a Pontiac show 
I want to enter in and my car's paint looks like ***. Its ridden with spider webbing all over, no swirls since I don't think the paint has ever seen a buffing machine before. I know I won't win any awards with my car but I've never been in a car show before and I do have a WS6 so it should be fun.
I pre ordered Sam Strano's Springs and have 4/4 Koni's sitting in my bedroom. Once the springs come in April and I get everything on and polish the car I think I'm gonna be very happy. Especially cause I finally fixed my sticky clutch pedal with a new slave so now its 10X more fun to drive!
But its been snowing the last few days here so no driving for me 
I only drive on clear dry days so my car has never really seen bad weather before. Its immaculate underneath the car though!
