What do you guys think of this mess? I've heard horror stories but this is downright ugly.

The temperature and wind was getting too brutal even for me so I called it quits for today but this is how this thing is turning out so far.

There will be no One Pad System review with this car. This paint is entirely too soft for those pads. They were just tearing this paint up and making a total mess of it so I switched over to my VC pads so I didn't burn the paint.

It was 78oF today in Macon, Ga, if this makes you feel better Dave. By the way, what are VC pads? Looks awesome so far.

Sure it makes me feel better because I know were about a month or so behind you.


Looks awesome so far.
Thanks man!!

LC Variable Contact Pads. I wish AD carried them but the only place I can find the 6" ones that I like is at Poorboy's World.

Dave...

That car is a total mess, but your work is taking care of that!

By the way, what type of vehicle is it?

That looks like my paint minus the holograms. I am working on it right now, taking my time, hope to have some pics up soon. I doubt it will look as good as that Miata though, That's an awesome turnaround Dave!

Dave, are you referring to the 6.5" pads? Have you tried the 5.5" VC pads? What is it that you like about them? Thanks!

I hope it doesn't look like that again a month after you finish. I have a few people that just kill their paint after they spend money to fix it.
