Good work in those outside photos, but you do know PB's polishes have fillers right? I'd be more impressed if you used a polish w/o fillers for that test. I bet by hand you could get 90% of those results with PB's polishes. Try a ##'s pro polish + or menzerna polish and see how it does. The pad just isn't spinning near fast enough to do the work I expect out of my details. In the vids, it looks like it takes a second or two to spin the pad, where my buffing, the pads are moving very fast, almost like a rotary. I find that speed, more than pressure remove defects well on my PC. Personal preference.

Guess I didn't get that memo Nor did my pictures

Here are pictures the day after with not only one but two iso-alcohol wipedowns. Granted it isn't perfect because I would usually finish off with SSR1 and then an LSP, this was left bare. You may notice light swirls in the second picture but that is because I wiped off the pollen with the water and not with S&W.

Alcohol water mix sprayed on:


Don't see any evidence of fillers

That's good, that is exactly what I do. I give it a good wipe down with water/alcohol mix. The last picture is very typical on black vehicles, I just did one and what a pain black color is but at the end it looks wicked.

Nice pictures dude, looks good to me.

Thanks for the comments. I have so many tests in my head that I want to do but they never get done whether it is time constraints, weather conditions, camera battery dead, etc. I didn't think about doing a video... I think its decent enough to get the point across, plus I did it with my digital camera. Pretty cool that I can take pictures and video with sound with it. So hopefully in the upcoming weeks you'll see more posts like this from me...

Sweet keep them coming bro, because I'm loving them. I love experimenting but it's amazing how fast time goes by when having fun
