Looks like you dodge a FAIL bullet the PQ. Hope it gets cleaned up. Thanks for showing me what will happen if I do this (;

You, I can't even sleep! I dropped the roof to my Vette shortly after I got it. The next morning, the car was in the shop getting repaired to the tune of $1400. I didn't really have it to spare but who cares, I couldn't sleep!

He's trying to catch up with me. I've got another $400 worth of stuff coming in this week. I've got to keep him at bay!

Ok. Clayed and waxed the car. It actually looks better than before I used the compound. I know claying doesn't remove swirls but I'm thinking maybe it was more of a dried haze.

Definately not as bad as it could have been.

What wax did you use? Sounds like maybe a wax with some filling agents.

if you don't have too many swirls in your ride, can you still use the porter cable and swirl and haze remover just to get that shine goin on? I am currently using some mothers products including that power ball for paint that attaches to your cordless drill. Seems to look great, but after watching some of your videos Junkman I kinda want to buy the PC for my ride and retire my power ball.
