    After been clayed , polished with rotary at 1200 rpm , cutting pad from propel and IP , polishing pad and IP again , finished with blue pad and PO85RD ( Final Finish ) .

    The LSP ( just for the picture , because after that i wiped it away with PO85RD for the Final Sealant from Chemical Guys )

    [​IMG]

    Well my favorite part , the vandalized area by some moron

    [​IMG]

    I used a 3M 3000 and Festool 4000 grade , using dry sanding.

    After i polished it with Rotary and IP , helped by a yellow cutting pad , i get almost all the marks of sanding.
    Then came the PC with a Menzerna orange pad and IP to take care of the rest , green pad and IP , finished with blue pad and PO85RD...
