Is your car lowered? certainly looks like it in the last pic.
Yup! ST Coilovers with 15mm spacers in front and 12mm spacers in rear, and M3 bits.

How do you like the MF Pads? Up to this point I've been using LCC Foam Pads


Just a FYI, with MF Pads and a DA Polisher...it is basically impossible to burn paint. You have to be using the DA on a 1" section for about 5 minutes to do any real damage...rotary is a different answer completely.

As well, you should work the polish til it flashes clear. When you keep on working the polish, you should slowly start to see it turn clear as you keep on working it. One that happens you know the polish has fully down its job and you can stop. Typically, when you're done with a section there shouldn't be much excess polish left to clean up with a MF towel.


And one last thing, after each section I do I always spurr the pad with a screwdriver (Similar to fluffing it like you mentioned). Waiting half the car to do it all depends how much polish is on the pad, but doing it every section makes sure you get consistency among each panel.
Well I don't really have anything to compare the MF pads to, but they seamed to work well. I can see them not lasting as long as the foam pads.

Thanks for the info, now that I think about it I could have polished a lot longer. I definitely had a good amount of residue left that I was having trouble wiping off, even with the IPA.
