    It looks good in the pics!

    I wouldn't be afraid to bust out a lighter swirl remover or AIO to do some light correction while learning. I bought a PC about a month ago and did my car and truck with them and McKee's 360. With an orange pad it did a nice job. It didn't get 100% correction but it was easy to use and very forgiving for a newbie. There are a lot of good products here that are beginner friendly, there's just too many to choose from at times!

    Just be careful with smaller pads because you must pay attention to the balance of the machine.
