    Don't worry dennis, I put the camera battery on the charger this morning. Can't wait to get some good pictures. The bad part is I havnt touched it today. I was so busy and there was so much traffic I didn't have time to. Tomorrow morning I will continue and get the whole car done. On the...

    Ill have to agree with you on that one. I always don't know what to make for a username so I just used that. Car is almost done....smooth as glass too. This is going to become quite the addiction.... Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk

    Yes sir. It is a good forum with good people. How did you find me on the forum, have I talked with you before? Because that would be pretty ironic haha. Anyways I really got to work today and did every panel but the hood, left door, front bumper, and left front quarter panel. 105/205 and...

    Gave that a shot and buffed on 5, worked wonders. Just took a while to get the hang of it. I hung up the towel for tonight and I'm going to get back to work tomorrow. So far I have the tonneau cover and the waterfall area basically complete as far as swirl remover goes. Also have the trunklid...

    Also put 105 on as well, just to see if it helped. It did help a little but some marks are still there...perhaps those are in there for good and will need some form of more serious correction to be removed? Edit: I should add that I tried taking pictures but I couldn't get any of the defects...

    Just took a break. Buffed the right half of the decklid with 205 and an orange ccs pad on 4.5. Starting to see some improvement but there are still some surface scratches. I am slightly convinced that I am not getting all I could out of the 205. I made a mark on on the backing plate and I...

    Just got home, the tape is fine *sigh of relief* going to start buffing in a few minutes. Gonna take some before pics and (maybe) after pics depending on how long this is going to take me - I may not get this all done tonight. Thank you for all the info. It was extremely helpful to say the...

    Baked on the paint? Yikes.... I don't think the rubber and plastic (or corner lights) will matter, at least I hope not...we will see when I get home... Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk

    Uh oh. It will be on the car until I get home from work (about 3 today). My garage is slightly warm because it is heated but the temp isn't hot hot. I got the really non adhesive tape, it actually hardly stuck to the plastic as it kept curling up last night...I don't think I will have an...

    Was planning on starting today but a few things popped up so I didn't have time, but I did manage to tape up the rear corner lights and plastic trim (windows and the semi circle strip around the tonneau) so it is ready to go for tomorrow. Definitely going to snap some before and afters, plus I...

    Sounds exactly like what I was planning on doing. You can see some light scratches and swirls and quite frankly I think that 105 will be a little overkill - therefore I plan on doing the whole car with 205 and a few orange pads followed by a wipedown, then moving onto paint sealant with either...
