Good to hear it working out well for you.
Damn, so basically my technique probably still sucks...
Will post some pics once I finish the final polish, seal and wax.

Did you have GIANT boogers at the end of the day?

Boogers? I don't think I had any body fluids left to produce anything by Sunday night.
Seriously, hats off to you guys that pound out 3 step restores like this (plus the pre and post work), on a regular basis. I'm in pretty good shape, and to say I was wiped by the end of the weekend would be a gross understatement. And thats taking into consideration that I STILL have the final Polish, Seal, and Wax left!

Yeah, I had 25hrs into a car this weekend and every part of my body aches right now.

Don't be hard on yourself, it's just a matter of practice and you get that by putting time in behind the polisher.

Hah, guess that was the problem, the cut pad was a yellow LC foam.
