    not really knowing the product and pad combo your using I would slow down and try another pass and see it that helps out at all.

    Other than that, you seem to be doing pretty well thus far. Its hard to really screw stuff up with a PC.

    I would say that is still a pretty light polish than, not bad work considering. Do you have any other polishes?

    Not bad for a first attempt. Nothing like some dirty water spots. I think the Vette Princess Lauren should get one of those license plate frames.

    I highly suggest moving to the Menzerna line of polishes, you will be impressed guaranteed. FP or Nano polish are perfect offerings for the black beauty.
