this stuff is awesome, I've been using it for close to a year and that's all I've needed, only 2 capfuls for every gallon of water

Just beautiful. Man, wish I had the patience for this. I have a brand spankin' new buffer and detail kit received for Christmas. Need to bust it out. Approx how much time did you spend on her?

Great Job and beautiful results on your X!

How long did it take?

Why did you use so much wax/compound/polish on your pad? You should only use about a quarter size...that is why you have so much splatter on your back window. A little product goes a long way and let the product do the work.

Yesterday I was working on my motorcycle (after its custom paint job last year) and it took me 3 hours just to work on the front end.

The results are certainly worth all of the hard work! (Jeff :wink:)
 
I tried to de-swirl my black roof today and the orange pad was WAY too abrasive and made it worse. i switched to a black one and got all the new scuffs out and cleaned up the rest of the roof.

I was surprised though since I used an orange one on my entire TL to de-swirl it and had no problem. The clear on the NSX is like butter it seems in comparison.
