    (not as bad as before but still it has swirls)

    (new goodie that came in the mail)

    (not too bad) Considering Ben's LS460 was around 180-170 on average..

    (So far its been Claybarred); and the paint readings have been taken)

    (faint line of transition) (where the flash sort of makes it out) is the splitting point

    All in all both work quite well

    (masking tape residue)

    My 2 cents:
    The Makita will get it done faster; with less wear on your pads; and with only about a 1/4th of vibrations

    Really nice detail. It looks great. I'm glad you had good luck with the KB method. I'm waiting for the write up still. Way to go...:thumb:

    I just need to figure out the KB method on the Makita; because too much polish and the heat will cause gumming :(

    I just swirled my own hood again (more like marred it) infront of a DB member, I made the mistake of swiping my finger over it lightly..and sure enough...I have a micromarr underneath :(
