Just used my PC 7336 tonight

I went over my hood today with SSR2.5 then SSR1. My car is swirld badly

I think i was able to eliminate atleast 85% of swirls and minimize the scratches on the hood. This **** takes awihle to do and product goes quick. SSR's are 12.95 a pop.. but owell its definately worth it. Ima get some pics tomorrow. I left a section of the hood untouched to compare to the polished hood. I will use it for personal comparison aswell as for future customers. Kinda a before/after effect.

I really need to get me some details. Im 300 bux into this detail ****. And thats just counting the polishing equipment/products. We wont go into wax/cleaners/mf towels.

I think I am pleased with my first attempt.

That's a great imporvement over the before pictures. Meguiars DACP is also a great product that will help emilinate the swirls and minor scratches in your paint. But give yourself some time too. The more you use the PC the better you will get with it. More times than not your results depend on process, not product. Looks great.
