After poking my head under there, I noticed that the endlink for the right side is completely non-existent So, that means i have bee driving aroudn w/a disconnected swaybar for a while. The handling was pretty good, and didnt notice anything. But, i can't wait to see the improvemnts tomorrow! Wish me luck!

"ignorance is bliss"
Reminds me when I drove a 1960 vw bug around for about a month with a really, really loud knocking sound, hoping it would last until I had time and $$ to investigate the sound. Well needless to say, I was horrified when the crank fell into two pieces when I split the case open. Then two years later, same car, that sound returned after 25k miles on the rebuild. This time I knew what it was and drove the car around for 2 months with a broken crank.

But, it doesn't replace a high-speed rotary buffer and a wool pad that you need for some serious compounding or following a paint job. That also requires skill and experience.
For getting rid of swirl marks and bringing out a shine a mile deep, you can't beat it. And it's pretty much mistake-proof for a novice. Saves a lot of time and sweat.
Here's my hood after I polished it up with the PC 7424 and Zaino. Notice the clear bra on the front half? It's normally impossible to photograph the clear bra as it is invisible from a few feet away but I caught the light just right.

Oh man that looks wonderfull. Yeah i would need to get familar with it, but I dont think i will have any need for a high-speed rotary buffer. I am jsut lookin' to do minor details, if you know what I mean.

Since the pad doesn't rotate when there's weight on it (it oscillates), I put a microfiber polishing cloth under the pad for the final touch. You can even use the Z6 or Z8 or some other Final Detailer spray.
