PC for the smaller panels?

How would you use the PC on the smaller parts of the car? i.e. the front fenders, bumbers, top of the door line, edges around the moon roof?

4" pads work well. Have you tried this yet?

Welome to the wonderful world of OCD and AG. You're only 37 posts young, you'll soon learn that this will become an obsession and that there is no cure.

Sorry to break this to you as though I were pulling off an old Band-Aid but it really is the best way to tell you.
It initially hurts (your wallet) but then it feels better as time goes on.

btw - I love your screen name.

I cannot believe your S2000 is your garage queen and the M3 is the daily beater.

I would trash the S2000 and keep the M3 as nice as possible. But hey, to each his own...

I love the S2, I use the M3 for work to take clients around, its the only 4 seater I could of bought without falling asleep while driving! I guess there's the M5, but I wanted to save 40K
