    Also note, a paint thickness gauge would not help you with this car, it's made of fiberglass.

    Eric, thank you for the specific feedback. I have another brand DA that I can't mention here but IMHO it really does spin as hard, if not harder, than the GG6. ( Please all, NOT going there with that argument ). No Flex 3401.... yet.

    On the PTG... on a fiberglass car .... Face plant.

    Will do.... he's getting it ready to sell. Probably going to go ahead and compound & polish separately (is that a 2 or 3 step, meaning do I include the LSP and call it a 3 step ?) instead of an AIO.

    Car turned out really nice. Owner is beyond happy. I’m working my way up on performance. Several people on here have been really helpful.... thank you. First pic is with the passenger door and back not done and the front fender and hood done. Process is below... maybe it will help someone or your feedback will help me.

    Before pics
    wash/clean wheels & barrels
    Foam car
    brush/clean top
    wash car/rinse
    Clay mitt/rinse
    blow dry...lol (electric Worx blower)
    GG6 + 1 other DA
    M101 compound - Yellow LC flat pad 5-6 passes
    M205 polish - White LC flat pads 4 passes (2 medium pressure, last 2 light )
    Wolfgang DGPS vertical and horizontal pass/wipe off
    Touch up around decals with Wolfgang Uber Compound by hand
    VRP dressing on tires... it's all about the applicator
    Interior clean/then coat with 303 wipes, BUFF DRY
    Luggage rack, windshield trim, door handles dressed with Solution Finish
    Clean Windows

    I would substitute the 205 for HD polish. 205 left marring on paint, I have a red 93 Vette.

    Put car in direct sunlight and do close inspection.
