Jim, I tried to make them nice for you.

Great turnaround - I hope you told the owner that wherever he's getting his car washed is not a good place to continue going

Also, I've never gone rotary, PC, then rotary again; just curious...what's your reasoning for this process?

Also, I don't know if you'd tried this before, but I compared PG/RMG via white Lake Country variable contact pad versus IP/RMG via yellow LC VC pad (similar cut to yellow propel) and I actually got more cut with the PG combo, and yet it finished down noticably better on black as long as I worked the polish thoroughly to break the the abrasives down. Don't know if you have any of the LC VC pads, but they are a must for IP and PG because they work great for compounding and yet they have the ability to finish down amazing well. Try and let me know what you think - you obviously know your buffing.
