Very nice pirex, you know I've been reading about the Audi's clear coat and they have a hard clear coat and I can see why you stepped up the pad. Looks really good bro...a wool pad would have come in handy huh.. oh yea I'll get back to you on the PM you sent me too.

Great job bro, car looks good....oh you know some of those scratches looked like wet sanding would have made the job easy for your too...they just look some what deep, not through the paint deep just on clear coat deep. How and what did you do to inspect the scratches? Just wondering.

sparkie: Thanks sparkie! It was pretty bad yes! Maybe the owner have drive it in the forest? I used lake country ccs pad

Nica: Thanks buddy! The clear coat is pretty hard, so a yellow was the way to go, but a wool pad has been better Oh, can`t wait :awesome:

Wet sanding would been great on this car! I used my nails to inspect the scrathes I don`t have a paing gauge..

Thanks again

 

[Nica]

Nail works fine bro...paintgauge is good too but it's more to cover your butt

 

[pirex]

And I have to cover my butt So I will get one...very soon
