Wow, great job! Gotta love 205.

side-note: I think we can retire the 56k warning

Thank you, and yes M205 is amazing.

Well, apparently, some people still use 56k, or some are on 768kb or 1mb internet which takes a while to load

Thank you, and first step was done with Rotary, and then finished off with PC, because PC doesn't remove deeper scratches.

Great job.
The swirls and micro marring in the passanger door image, would a PC remove these types of scratches? Mine look like this but not as bad.
Thanks.

Thank you.

Well, it depends how hard your clear coat is. On this this it was a bit harder than medium so I had to use rotary to get 100% scratch less result.

PC would remove around 70%-85% but won't get you perfect result if that's what you want. I know some people managed to get perfect, but I tried and can't, so I had to use rotary buffer.

Thanks.

a pc with some megs 105 and an orange pad followed by the 205 with a white or black probably could take care of that...

Now all I goto do is figure away to do around the door handles and rear tag area. Buffer wont fit in there LOL.
