Wow, it's amazing how much clarity and depth has been brought back!

[billboard2001]

Welcome Arisking! You have to learn somehow :-) it looks like it turned out quite well though, good work!

[spiralout462]

Great job! Which polishes did you prefer, Wolfgang or Menzerna?

[arisking]

Thanks for the compliments guys. And yeah, I needed something crappy to get the feel of the 3401 on. But it's super easy to use, just make sure the pad is flat...simple.

As far as which products I liked better I feel like the Menzerna had a longer work times and preferred them over Wolfgang for that. Also, WG products gummed up the pad a lot faster.

Both have their place and I will definitely make use of Wolfgang UC and Wolfgang FG in the future. They both did the exact same job, just differently. FG400 may have cut a little better though.

I haven't had tons of experience with Wolfgang, but wanted to see back-to-back here.

I was even working the Menzerna in the path of a heater a little ways away and still it didn't haze on me after 6 section passes.

I also feel like I will enjoy the CCS pads over the HT ones. HTs seem so weak, but I will have lots of time to decide.

Thanks again guys.

Wow looking good!

[twitch77]

It took me a few looks to understand what I was seeing, haha. And now I see how awesome it looks!

Don't be intimidated at all. No one will make fun of you... at least not "publicly" j/j :D

Great job, gonna be hard to drive it around a farm and get dirty now huh?

[arisking]

Ha, thanks a lot guys!

Also, yeah it'll get driven around but it's just a test, right. See how well that Collinite holds up.

Apparently it's a tank of a wax, :P
