If you could eliminate any steps in paint correction (not interior work), what would it be? Let's keep it to 1-2 steps. :xyxthumbs:

Mine would be:

- Washing pads after polishing
- Polishing front/rear bumpers

I don't mind claying as I get instant gratifications that the surface is becoming clean.

Cleaning pads while working, for me that is a real hassle.

I agree... Bumpers and lower panels (like side skirts). 3" and 4" work gets so tedious.

+1

In addition, adding more product.
Wish there were some type of dispenser built into the DA that will automatically "feed" the pad with product when needed.

There is such a product. Mike Phillips posted pictures of it a few years (?) ago. But, it may have been on a rotary.

Taping seams and trim and emblems and plastic and....then wiping off the residue

the only plus side is my kids love playing war with the tape balls when I am done.
