Haha, basically the car is brand new, and never driven in winter time.. has only 1000km on it.. the problem was it has lots of different levels of scratches from the factories, I was trying the 85RD but it's basically enhancing the gloss but didn't really remove the scratches, even with SIP, it took some time to take out most of the them with a lake country CCS orange pad. If my paint is in better shape, I would just use 85RD with white pad to smooth out the clear coat and seal it up with sealant/wax.

I think I will research polishing a little before I dive in. I'm a little afraid to practice on my new baby. Perhaps my wife's truck would make a good guinea pig.

Thanks for the info on the pads. What type of buffer do you use? Any other pitfalls to watch out for?

And to repeat myself - your car looks fatastic.
