    Gorgeous!

    I'm surprised you had to use SIP when you were only doing minor correction, paint quite hard then?

    Nope just wanted to make sure I got everything out.

    Used the SIP with the Uber Green Pad.

    and 85RD with Uber Blue.

    Oh yes sorry no real sun shots as it got dark and the customer picked up the same day.

    Thanks Phil. I have something like that now. Whats the black thing-a-ma-jig on the very end?

    Really want to use SIP on the Uber green pad, have had great luck with 203S and Uber green but I bet the SIP gives it that extra bite...

    as for the black piece at the end its the quick release adapter
