So, looking for another DA.
What be your thoughts people? Have contacted a few sellers in the US and some seem to like this new Ruppe polisher even over the PC. Anyone?

Now that its gone the bonnet is smooth like glass, anything you put on it slides off.

Still have some rough spots here and there that some 2000 grit might have to tackle before round 2.

Damaged headlights really change the appearance of a vehicle, more so impact visibility conditions at night. Once again we have restored headlights and protected with our unique process...

The following shows the headlight after our four step process. On another note the vehicle was fully detailed to remove water spots and heavy marring. This was the first vehicle we have sealed using 22ple Pro Glass Coating...the results simply spectacular!

Over the last holiday weekend, we performed two complete detailing sessions on these two rides....they were both sealed with 22ple Pro Glass Coat.
I personally find this to be my personal pick in terms of long term sealants. Cquartz is a very good product but application can be a bit challenging at times.
I do have a lot of new stuff to post but cant find the time!

Lubetech is the Meguiars dealer. Call them. I'm sure they have 205, not sure about 105.
How bad is that paint exactly that you want to use 105? On those I'd probably try 205 first with a few passes.
But it really depends on exactly how bad it is. Hard to tell without seeing it and measuring paint thickness.
