Not sure what to say about the microfiber. If it was any color other than black, maybe I would not have noticed but I was able to repeat it over and over again. Like I mentioned, the car was recently painted, so perhaps it's softer than normal/should be? There was definitely a difference...

Oh, I did all of the side panels - and it WAS nerve-racking and took forever.. I can see how with some more experience, this could be knocked out a lot faster. I just felt better going slow.

Ok... I know you guys are going to smack me around for not posting pictures. I have some but they simply show the end product, as it was difficult to get images of the finer details. First let me say that I finally bought something at AG that I didn't really like. Super Soft Deluxe Green...

Favorite: Back to Black Reason: Polishing paint is one thing but it's everything else that makes a car LOOK detailed. Nice, black trim always stands out - especially on a contrasting color, like silver. Movie: Grand Prix

Thanks - I'm going to give it a shot today! Jeff

That might be the problem. I'm still using an orange pad. I thought I could stick with an orange and go with the 106 for less cutting but the orange is probably causing my hazing. Thoughts?

I don't have a rotary - PC.

My intention was to polish the recently damp sanded surface to match the edges that were previously taped. The taped areas remained a lot more shiny and black.

thoughts?

Ok, I bought a bunch of 3" stuff because most of the panel surfaces are pretty narrow between the edges. All is going pretty well on my test panel but I'm having trouble getting it back to super black. It's just a little milky and you can see where the tape line was because it's super black...

I did one of the larger, flat panels and it looks pretty good as far as the orange peel goes. I think I'm going to get some of the 3M 5000 packs and try that before I buff, to hopefully make it faster. I'm also wanting to order the griots 3" kit with some other accessories. AND I just...

Thanks again - Now I see that I should have purchased some vinyl tape too but I think I can work around that. I have to tell you, and I know you've been told this before - I've never bought from a company in which the owners were so involved in the product development and direct support to the...

Watching the AMX video now. The finish looks similar to our Cobra, some orange peel.

Thanks. It's one of those cars though - being black, it looks great when it's not in the sunlight. After this repaint, I think it has potential - just need to get it cleaned up. Did I make a mistake by not ordering the megs backing plate? I have the one on my PC that I use for foam pads and...

Additionally, the painter probably fixed some dirt or something and left some holograms and swirls. New black paint = huge project for the rest of my life :)

Call you in a bit. I'm going to place an order but I got stuck at work (the nerve of these people!). Mike, thanks for all of the tips. I actually have another account on here but it's disabled for some reason (probably inactivity?). Not that I posted much but I did my share of lurking and...

Meaning, I already have the start of what I believe are the tools to get the job done and I just need to know what else to pick up. I have a porter cable, meguiers 1500 and 3000 unigrit finishing pads various foam pads and menzerna (forget which but it's a couple years old and it's the one for...
