Hey Bob, made my day with this small song, I've never heard about that before.

Too bad my wife can't understand english songs. How they knew in 1946 what I would live in 2014?! That's genius.

My vote goes for Zac, I've noticed this pretty shot earlier on answer #8 of his topic:

Really surprised you were able to get that finish with PF2500 and an Orange Pad

Nice Work

[David at LC Pads]

LC orange pad is such a versatile pad. Very cool thread. I'd say both of those are pretty great shots! :dblthumb2:

The orange pad is easily my most used pad. Incredibly versatile.

Not to be "that guy"... but before/after shots (as impressive as these are) are not the same as 50/50 shots. There could be a separate thread for before/after shots.
