Was there a noticeable difference after using the 85rd with a black lc ccs pad? Im trying to find out if that extra step in jeweling made a difference in the gloss?

Thank you :cool: and yes, the gloss factor is kicked up when using a pad with no mechanical action to allow you to jewel/burnish the paint.. IMO, it looks as though a LSP has apready been added when you add this step..... some see the value in this others don't but I highly recommend it to my clients...
 
I've got a green G6 to do this weekend and was going to try 106 and wool, rather than 106 and a greed Edge pad like I used on my last bad G6. I've got a test of 105 still maybe I'll have to give it a shot.



Great work!!
 
Looks fantastic, great recovery.



I did my mom's red G6 3 weeks ago and it was pretty swirled, even if I always handwash it for her, very carefully. The paint on those G6 is soo easy to swirl and scratch, it's insane.
