Re: 2006 BMW 750i
Looks great as usual. I corrected a 2006 750 also about 8 weeks ago and the paint was super hard. The owners young daughter washed the car with a nylon bristle brush. The paint was a mess. I was able to correct about 80% of it in the worst areas. I didn't want to risk overdoing it as the car had been corrected a few years prior.
I need to keep your methods in mind for the next time.

Love the E65!
Richy, do you think Micro Fiber pads + D300 would work for the compound step?

Re: 2006 BMW 750i
I have an older audi in black which is very hard to correct. I have got the swirls down, but not fully corrected. Should I bump up pressure or other variables. I am using a meguiars red microfiber and m105 with moderate pressure and speed 5

Thanks very much for the kind words! That one you did sounds awful.

Thanks Alex! I know I get inspired when I see good work. As the saying goes "there's only one way to get to Carnegie Hall...practice". I've had plenty of mistakes over the years. You just learn from it and go on.

Thanks so much! In a word: No. I played with one a bit and it is not aggressive enough, even with 105. Check out the Harley and trailer I'll be ousting in a day or 2, I did lots of comparisons on that job.

I would suggest a more aggressive pad. On that Harley I mentioned above, I used a black Tuf Buff wool pad with my DA and M105 to see if it would work...did it ever! PM me if you have more questions, I'll be happy to help, although I won't be on much tomorrow, I've got a Cobra coming.
