Photos are up on my new thread. Thank you everyone for your help, the car turned out great! http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/show-n-shine/74943-2010-ctsv.html#post1019084

First, I would like to thank everyone that helped me out in the forum. My old thread can be viewed at the address below LINK I purchased the Wolfgang Porter Cable 7424xp Ultimate Kit as well as some other goodies. (6 pack of various pads, pinnacle sovergin wax, microfiber towles) for my...

I was able to get started this evening and everything is coming along nicely. I compounded the entire car using the tangerine pad and the Uber compound. While it did take me about 20 minutes to perfect the needed technique for the results I wanted to achieve, I must say that this is quite the...

tangerene with the uber looks good! what do I go to next? the finishing glaze and what pad, or straight to the sealant? so to clarify... finishing glaze gets what pad? the paint sealant gets what pad? I have tangerene, cyan, and crimson pads currently until Thursday. thank you!!!!

I'm sorry, I meant the tangerine pad..

the polishing pad as in the red crimson pad or the white one that comes with the machine?

the car is all cleaned up and clayed. should I go with the uber compound and a tangerine pad to do my first test spot or go with the finishing glaze and the tangerine pad? swirls and scratches are minimal but I want to do this right..

If you run into any kind of problems or after doing the test spot have any questions, be sure to post them... :dblthumb2: Will do sir. Thank you again for all of the help. Should I start with that tangerine/uber mix or should I use a lighter compound to start? This paint is hard to take...

Haha, its not stock :dblthumb2: runs low 11's at our local 1/4 mile track. Should pull a 10 with some decent weather and a nice radial.

Ordered the additional pads. Got a 6 pack. 2 orange, 2 white, 1 red, and a grey I believe. Looking forward to starting tomorrow when my package arrives. Probably going to do a test spot with the tangerine pad and the uber compound to see what results I yeild. I will watch the DVD first. I...

What additional pads would you recommend purchasing?
