If anyone has some suggestions, they are small defects, small scratches and the hood has the most problems. Thanks all!

Default Everything but the third pic should come out.

What are your plans for the detail work?

I'll be doing the following: wash and claybar, Menzerna I.P., Final Polish &amp; FMJ with a P.C.

Default I'm mid process right now (taking a lunch break). The results will stun you.

I'll be adding the glazing step to the process you outlined. Just finishing the Final Polish II step and the car looks simply amazing. Menzerna rocks. Can't wait to finish this and get out of the heat.

Good luck with yours.

I'm ordering a Porter-Cable next week as well. Which pads are you using with the Menzerna steps?

Default I got my pads from...

...www.properautocare.com. I pretty much ordered what they recommended to go with the Menzerna suite.
