Using rotary with soft dimpled green pad and Optimum CompoundII at around 1,800rpm which is giving me a nice cut in a relatively short time with no micromarring/holograming. Going over it with a soft dimpled red pad and Optimum PolishII and kicking it up to around 2,200rpm to jewel the paint a bit. some areas I am not finished with due to experimentation with pads/speed combo's. I really like this soft green pad and compound at a moderate speed and following it up with polish if necessary. Optimum Compound isnt very abrasive (as per http://www.auto-geek.net/charts/wax-...art-master.htm) so im not too worried about speed being harmful at this point. Using a heavier cut pad and OP compound at a lower speed (1500 max) was leaving micromarring/holograming and wasnt cutting as well as you would think.

Going to also do wheels/wheel wells and engine bay, RaggTopp the top for the winter, and do a full interior detail. Hopefully also take some nice pics once its all done.

Good job Nukka.

Koni Yellows w/Eibach Sportlines? (Black, 1.6" drop)






Needs full bushing kit now.

I think the wheels are rubbing on larger bumps (like the one driving home from stockton), hit one like that on 132. Might have to change out those springs.

zane are pics showing for you?
