My apologies. I'm new to using a PC and still looking at different compounds and polishes, can you tell?

Don't apologize, you did great work. The only person you should apologize is to the lady and that would because I know you know that you didn't produce your best work.

I would offer to her if she has time to allow you to finish up, polish away the marring, and smoothen it all out as a service for free if possible.

This is how you build relationships, profitable ones. This is an AMAZING referral that you'll get.


Now on to my technical question: Was this single stage paint? (did your pads turn red?)

you thought i was someone else haha, but yea i know what you mean. Im great friends with her (we work together) so i will probably end up finishing it this spring.

Yes it was single stage paint, i went through 3 pads because they kept on turning red and didnt work anymore. Its surprising how easy that it was to revive that paint! It may look like i did some magic, but really it is all due to XMT and the Porter Cable.
