Sorry for the quick write up on this one...feeling lazy. :D
I did this car a little over a month ago and it was my first go at using the Surbuf pads...I must say I was very impressed with the amount of correction one can achieve with these pads on the DA.
Owner of this car bought it used on a cloudy day and was shocked after washing it and seeing the paint condition in the sun. :eek:

Dealer/body shop was nice enough to leave a bunch of compound splatter in the jambs.

Paint was pretty swirled up with lots of RIDS

About 80% of the car had been repainted and there was some very heavy over spray on much of the car. I was able to remove most of it using lacquer thinner and then following that up with clay.

You can see the area I tested here with clay

It was hard getting it all out of the cracks but I was able to remove about 95% of it.

Taping off the clear bra edge....lots of film on this car too. :cursing:

Door after using the Surbuf with M105 on the PCXP.....you can still see light marring but the defects were removed with ease. :)

The process for paint correction was as follows:
M105 on the PCXP with 6.5" Surbuf pads
M105 on the PCXP with white LC pads
Menzerna 106fa on the rotary with Crimson LC pad
LSP was Blackfire Wet-Diamond
