I take it you're a big fan of the tornador? Kinda makes me want to get one and dig out my compressor.

Well depending on the damage you should be good with the products you have. Ordinarilly I would say start with a white pad and lightly abrasive polish. Your car being a jet black bmw iit could be silly soft or horrendously hard. You would be surprised how much technique trumps product selection...

Well imo all polishes are easy to use provided you know how to polish, then read and follow directions. If I were to help pick out a line for someone to start using I would say xmt as its "easy" to use and produces serious correction results.

The red is supposedly identical to blue in terms of mechanical action and softness. Using a pc I would recommend using grey to finish. Also I wouldn't recommend using #7 via any machine as its designed to be spread by hand and quickly removed.

Nice review Gewb, good work my friend. I would also recommend looking into z7 as its one of my favorites of all time. Pinnacle is such a nice shampoo its tough to beat. Another some of you might want to look into is tol's bubble bath, after years I still find myself ordering a gallon to make...

I agree with ocw. I was thinking of many spray lsps for this gentleman. With ease of use, lack of mess, and durability in mind I would take it a step further and suggest picking up a bottle of optiseal or clearseal as well. You can always top it with liquid souveran if you want, but you might as...

Agree 100%. Coated leathers aren't going to benefit from leatherique the way non coated leather will even in poor condition. Not saying it won't clean up the situation here, but from the sounds of it, pick one of many leather clean/condition duo's out there. Any leather kit found on AG would...

We didn't use Zaiono to protect this paint, but it would have been fine if we did. Zaino is a great looking durable line of sealants that would work well on any paint type or non porous surface. Harleyguy, I know your questions are for Todd, but ill answer for him he uses a nikon d40 with a...

Thanks Ron, Yes it was pretty rough.

Gewb, good to see you around again. Thanks for all your help in the past.

Great work! Keep it up. I agree with you, I like uf better as well. IME pretty much every polish has the ability to decieve, it really boils down to how they are used in most cases. I like UF better than RD because RD will grab on certain paints and even howl occassionally. UF is always super...

Thanks Eric, I hope you're enjoying the sweet weather we've been having lately.

Thanks for the kind words gentleman. David, Yeah it was tore up from the floor up, but I like the way you said it better. I was just glad to see what it looked like in black. As for the remaining crevices I might work the out on future maintenance but they definitely aren't the concern on...

Thanks Pat. 3m extra cut and a few different pads ranging from heavy cut twisted wool, purple wool, to orange lc pads. op2 and green pads. 85rd and black/red pads. z5 pro zfx'd x2 topped with z8. zaio on the wheels and all non porous exteriors, I didn't take many glamor shots but the pics...

Gracias mi amigo:cheers:

Thanks fellas, no I haven't went over proper washing with him yet, will do though.

You hit the nail on the head, I was glad the picture came out the way it did, it's a good example of how shady some can be when selling a car or even other avenues of photo deception. I have a good handful of afters that are still uploading, I thought they would be done by now but my com is...

After polishing pre dressing and touch up Here you see another nasty deep scratch I did not attempt to remove via westanding. Right below the halogen.

2004 Marerati Befores Surprisingly, there wasn't a terrible amount of contamination removed via claying. Funny picture of how good a car can look out of the sun vs. Upper Driver door before And after This panel was resprayed, and difficult to correct...

I know they got them in, but did they have them at the time I posted this? And it's not much of a review, but definitely worth some attention as it's a good sponge.
