Yes. My Mazda has TWO cracks in the windshield. It's called the state & counties down here never clean up the expressway. There are so many construction trucks driving on all the roads down here that they never have a tarp over them so crap is always on the roads. I'm sure you get the point.
btw - did you join the Texas Mazda Club?

paint looks great, it looks like i didnt work enough on one headlight but other then that i'm ready for 205 and finalizing, heck i dont even know if i will need 205, i'll bring it buy anthony with all my black friday goodies and see what he says. i bought 6 different type of lake countery buff pads including the foam/wool you let me use, the purple one!
i think i orderd 2 orange one white one green and 2 gray.. i think, forget though!!!
i'll know on friday when the items come in.

Re: 4 Part Process Still Has Swirls?
update.
got my flex in on friday. had some time finally today to test out my new toys,
since i used 105 with LC purple wool/foam pad i didnt have much of anything to really correct, while in my garage under fluro lights i noticed some haze surrounding the lights so i knew i needed to follow up with the next step, but there were no concerning swirls/spiderweb marks or even any noticeable trace of 105 OR the wool pad!!!
i used 205 with green LC ccs as directed on bottle. 3 heavy passes and 2-3 lighter passes.
i am working in the garage due to the weather, cold, foggy, damp and just miserable outside. after doing test area with green and 205 i was very pleased. the "hazing" around the fluro light reflection was cut in half and almost completely gone!!! the paint looked much deeper in color and i fell in love all over again!!!!
products that i have to follow up with are as follows(yes i know some of them do the same job):
poor boys polish and seal (came with flex)
poor boys EX-P (came with flex)
opti-poli-seal
meguiars NXT 2.0 "wax"
3m show car paste wax
i thought to my self "wow i dont have a glaze i'm missing a step"
so today i went to autozone. i remember them having a profesional line product from meguiars, the light tan bottle. but i forgot what product they had so i went down there with my fingers crossed.
sure enough they had #7 show car glaze!!!!!!!!! i was so so happy that i could pick some up since i dont have enough time before the show to order black hole or pinical cleansing lotion or any of the amazing products available for this glazing step pre-seal/pre-wax, post polish
so my next step is to use the #7 show glaze, then follow up with sealer (pb ex-p, pb polish and seal or opti-poly-seal) then follow up with a wax (3m show car paste wax or nxt)
unfortunatly only pads i have are orange, white, green, black.
so i could apply glaze with green or black, and then apply the seal with black, and apply the wax by hand or with black
NOTE :
i know there are better products out there and yes i will buy them as well as more LC pads, but right now this is what i have and what i have done already!!!

Re: 4 Part Process Still Has Swirls?
it was 49 outside my house and it was 55 in my garage but i got it up to 60, its chilly to me and the fog/moisture in the air made it difficult to use detail spray. i left condensation on the paint every time my hand touched too.
55 may not be "cold" to alot of people. but it is a bit chilly to me. so i worked in the garage.
btw please read my above thread #67 i'd really love some feed back
