Hi All, By way of an update, I finished buffing out with the M205 and removed all the masking. I had been leaving the masking on to help with the clean up. Enclosed are a couple of pictures showing the truck outside in the sunshine today. It looks great outside and way more than adequate for...

Thanks 57borntorun and GSKR, I have spoken with Barry multiple times and he has been very helpful. However, he did tell me that he does not do a lot of compounding. Also as you mentioned, it is difficult with out someone in person.

I know there has to be perfectionists out there that have color sanded and buffed paint successfully that can give me pointers? I even called the Meguiars tech line. For every question I asked I got the exact same answer "If you are not getting the results you want, adjust your technique"...
