Good work man!!!
Yep I'm so **** with mine I get stressed out sometimes with it, as soon as you lay a finger on the paint it either smudges or leaves very light scratches, same when wiping, it swirls in seconds!

wow effing swirls. what a curse to all car enthusiasts. I kinda wish I was an average person who took my car through a car wash and had no clue how much my pain was getting raped. Very good write up though.

Kman, what do you think about #9 Swirl Remover? I tried my first full detail last summer with the PC starting with clay bar then #9 followed by #7 and then topped off with #26. What are your thoughts on this process?

Nice job man and a great write up! I think I might be using the meguires products on my SS. Im gettin rdy to order the PC from tropi care. The meg 8006 pad what color is that compared too in lake country? You used the same part number pad to apply the 80 and 83 also right and the 9006 would that be like a white or blue lake country pad?

That's an ok process. I prefer #83 and then #80 on F-bodies because the clear coat is so hard.

I'm not familiar with Lake Country. Yes, I used the 8006 pad for both the #83 and #80. I did not use the same pad for both. I used one 8006 pad with 80 and another 8006 pad with the 83.

I'm going to spend you a PM in a sec.
