Re: 8 Hours later ....
Nice....

I always want to try the Random Orbital but worry about it is too agreessive to take the gloss off. Can I ask how do you use it and which brand you use?.

You guys are so lucky to be blessed with good weather for most of the year....the rain and muck always ruins my polishing efforts in a matter of days...

Looking very good! I got my car glazed, and had to wait 2 days for the chemical process to stop before I could wash her, finally I get to wash her, plan to take her out to get some pics of her nice and shiny, it rains for the first time in 6 months...
