    Well last time I posted that I used my PC for the first time, then broke it. Well it is all fixed and I wanted to finish the car but only had time for the hood.

    Washed the car 2 buckets and Z7
    Clayed with Meg smooth Surface
    The car was swirl free from the last time but had some scratches still on it
    So I used Prima Swirl with Orange CCS Pad
    Duragloss 501 White pad
    DG 111 by hand

    Full sun pics 24hrs later

    I do not think the pics show it to well but the hood looks a lot better. The last past of swirl took care of all but 1 major scratch and the DG 501 cleaned the white up nicely. My fiance who could care less bout anythin I do with the car even made a comment about how good the hood looks.

    LOL...they do that just to make us feel good about ourselves when in fact there laughing inside. My wife tells me "Oh the truck looks so shiny" when I'm done as well....

    Just stopped in to check your results as I just picked up DG 501, 111, AW and 901 over the weekend.

    Right after I was done I was helpin my neighbor install a T stat in his Mustang and she was askin if I planned on doing my hood at all, I told her it's done and she looked and laughed. Yea she knows how to drive me crazy lol
    I still need to get some AW I used Prima Hydro and really like it but still want to try AW, cheaper and local.
    The 501 on a white pad speed 2.5 was nice and easy.
