Ewww that colour is nasty and that lip spoiler WTF dont you know you need a big spoiler on the back of our FWD cars! Nahh im just jealous
Pretty sure anyone else that runs is going to have a tough time even getting their own family to vote for them.
Got my vote.
Quick question, everytime i buff my car i usually end up with holograms after the yellow/wool pad, any way to prevent it?? And i dont want to use a dual purpose buffer because that just hides, never actually fixs the problem like a foam pad on the high speed.

lmao you guys are rediculous i love it. Appreciate the votes everyone! Like I said im gonna get some nicer pics up soon.
I use only foam pads. Wool pads are good for fresh paint since they dont generate as much heat but if the car didnt just come out of the paintbooth, use foam pads. Start with a white pad and a rubbing compound, run it at about 1500 - 2000 rpms. I actually usually run it a bit faster and give it medium pressure and then super light pressure twords the end of compounding to help it remove the swirls. Remember you want it to generate heat so but a spot, stop and put the back of your hand on the panel and feel how hot it is. You can get it pretty hot and still be ok, just be careful you dont melt through. Be super careful around body lines and edge of panels, keep the buffer spinning OFF the panel and body lines and not onto them. Then Grab a black pad and some machine polish, swirl remover, whatever your brand of compound calls it and run that at like 3 thousand rpms with medium pressure and slowly lighten up the pressure on the panel as you work it in. That SHOULD remove all your swirls but if theres still some left, depending on how deep they are you either need to go over it with a black bad, or get a blue pad with some ultra fine machine polish, or 3000 glaze they call it
