Nice work Lauren, glad to see your happy with the results.

ZPC will be easier, the OHC will leave tons of micros and you will spend more time trying to get those suckers out. I hope you ordered some. It's only 12 bucks or so. Even if you followed the OHC with it. It looks bad but form the pics it doesnt seem as if the swirls are that deep so you...

email them to me [email protected], ill post them

LOL yeah Lauren, what's up with the pics?

Her car is like an 05 or 06 and it's a bit premature to go sanding the paint already. She should at least have a pro do something with a rotary before stripping of a big chunk of clear on a nearly new car.

Porter cable works good for me. some good deals on it too.

Ohc

Yes, but you can surely underwork it. The finish you should look for is swirls removed and little to ZERO micro marring. If you see micromarring you didnt work it long enough. You will probably have some spider webbing, but you will have to work the PC for one long time to get the OHC to...

cheers to that. nothing like the first time......i mean day ;)

Well since your car is newer than my 01 and so is his I can say that you may have a better chance and I have seen several guys here and other sites use PC and work magic, but the fact is that he has way more detailing experience and frankly the best products in the world wont help you if you...

That's hilarious, I practiced on some side skirts I bought for my vette that were painted by a body shop and boy was it easy to get those things to 97% or so with only a couple of passes and products. But when I went to the hood all that went out the window. At this point I can get most of the...

LOL just like adding fat to your body is easier than getting it off :) mostly because swirls are cuts in your clear coat, when you cut something you take part of it away or at least make it uneven. We dont want to take clear coat spray and try to spray it back on there so we try to cut the...

That's the problem, it depends on how deep the swirls and marks are. Chances are that you have some that are going to require you cutting them and making them into several smaller cuts, which looks better, but you can only make them smaller then you have to get rid of the smaller ones, this is...

With a PC you can forget about getting it right in just one detail unless that detail lasts for several days without the car being driven.

PC vs Vette = WWII, I am having a tough time even with a rotary but I can get all the swirls out but cant get a perfect finish (with flashlight looking from about 3-4 in). I am practicing on a spare hood I have from my vette. I would advise the XMT 3 on a orange pad speed 6 followed by XMT 1 on...
