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.

Great!
Thanks for the info, I can't wait to get one and mess with it
Any idea where you can get one for cheap?

Put me on the list. Thanks.
Does anyone have Tein Coilover? I just bought a basic Tein coilver in incredible cheap price. I'm not sure whether to keep them or sell them and get a SS Tein coilover. What do you guys think?

Ravi and Bo have Teins SS's. You should ask them. I think that either way you can't go wrong, just depends on how much flexibility and adjustability you want

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.

That should get me started.
All in due time, maybe I'll drive it stock for a little while so I can really feel the difference. It jumps pretty good now when the turbo kicks in.
sounds good turbo buddy

Do they have any ideas why? Unichip?Still chasing down parts. I went to pick-a-part last weekend to pull some parts out of a 85 turbo they had there a few weeks prior. I get there and they had already scrapped it. I was so pissed. They had about 6 other NA's there and they chose to scrap their one and only turbo??? I got a message from some guy in Visalia that may want to go halves on a parts car. Toughest part for me to find so far is the turbo engine crossmember. As this thing gets older, parts are getting tougher to find - specifically the turbo conversion parts. I think i'm going to test fit some items this weekend and see if I can use a Z32 pully. If I can work through that one, I'll be pretty happy. Everything else will be a piece of cake.
