    Vacuum cleaners! The endgame thread!

    Mequires (high End) Pro Line!!!??really?

    After using Menzerna

    it might just be more than the pc can handle audis have pretty hard CC coat, I would never try to do any paint correction on an Audi without a rotary. I think you will intriduce more defects with wool, try the orange pad and just work the death out of the area and finish and see what your...
