That car looks really familiar. Only difference being the rims which look far better than mine. Nice job on the polish. How did you do it so quickly? I have been using Menz SIP on 5.5" LC CCS orange pads and can barely cut that GM clear. I still have to follow with Micro Polish on white and black pads. I have spent over 12 hours on my friends '00 Monte SS and I'm still not finished. Even a soft cleared Nissan took me 12 full hours. You are fast!

hmm, now I wonder if I was breaking the polish down all the way :? There are still some spots that aren't perfect but this was the first try with the UDM and polishing, so I am still learning. I will do it again in a few weeks and get it perfect. I hear ya on the clear being hard though.

I don't know, maybe I'm just slow. IIRC Grimm said it takes him about 10hrs to polish his car. All I know is that I need a rotary soon 'cause I can't make any money this way.
