Nice job I bet the Client was very pleased.
I am assuming that you used the M105 only for spot buffing the hardest hit areas and then did the rest of the car with SIP right?
How would you compare the M105 to Menz PG? does it dust like Menzerna? I am almost out of my Power gloss Compound and have been reading alot of great feedback about the M105 which brings me to another question, where do you get your M105 from? Thanks and again nice job!

Great job as usual, I have one question tho .. on a car in that condition why bother with the 2 pail method .. I'm pretty sure with your experience your not going to marr it any more with a standard wash bucket.

And you are correct about where I used the M105 vs SIP - mainly around the rear fascia where items had been drug out of the trunk...
M105 cuts faster, harder and finishes off better than PG
I purchased my M105 from my local automotive paint supply shop..
You can also get it from autodetailingsolutions.com - I have read they have the best on-line price for it

It was hard to tell the extent of the swirls when it was dirty.... To be honest I really do it out of my autopian habit

I got mine from Home depot... I think it was $40 but they are more heavy duty than others I have seen/used
