Nice work, sir!!!

Nice work, sir. Stay safe.

That's for the heads up, Alex.

Thanks, Flash. I also ordered some 5.5" CCS pads. The 6.5" pads that came with the PC weren't cutting it. I'll do a test spot with those first and if that doesn't cut it, I'll move up to the surbuf pad. Thanks again for the help.

I orderd M105, M205 and surbuf pads. Gonna work on the SUV this weekend. When you say spritz the area.....do you spray the pad or the buffing area? I want to avoid slinging the water everywhere. Thx.

I believe I read on here before that you can clean the wax from the chips with an IPA wipedown and flushing with water. I recently used Dr. Colorchip on the hood of my DD Titan and LOVED the results. Most of the chips I can't even find now from a foot away. Once you've applied the Colorchip...

Some of the guys on here with photography experience could probably explain it much better but it has to do with LOOOOOOONG exposure time. I think it took like 30 seconds to take this picture. That allows the little light available into the camera. I can assure you that it was pitch dark...

Costa Rican Sunset...

My new (to me) baby...2007 3LT Coupe Me getting some time in the shade in Costa Rica... This one was actually taken at night by a friend who actually understands cameras...LOL. Check out the stars.

When I make another attempt today, do I need to clean off the Finishing Glaze that is on the paint before taking another run with the Orange Pad and the Swirl Remover?

Before I built my house in Cypress, I lived in Clear Lake and I still umpire baseball down there. You have any grandkids that play baseball in LC?

My name is Jim and I am complete NEWBIE to detailing. I bought a 2007 Corvette recently and was looking for the best ways to keep her clean and mean. Found this sight....ugh....now I have a new addiction. :xyxthumbs: Bought a PC 7242 and Wolfgang Swirl Remover and Finish Glaze to practice...

You're right, of course. It was overcast today and I was afraid it was going to rain on me so I worked in the garage. I stayed dry...but I couldn't see much. I will definitely practice. I have two DD to practice on. I just bought a 07 Vette which is the whole reason that I even found this...

I put the PC on the scale. SON OF A GUN....it does weigh 5#. LOL. I should have known better than to doubt Mike's word. hahaha
