    Yup. :)

    Just work the 95 until it's completely clear. You might actually find that it's easier to use than SIP.

    I've tried the M95 + purple foamed wool pad tonight and WOW! THIS was the product missing to my collection for the 100% perfect job.

    1. Initial picture of the worst area on the car. This is after 2 heavy passes of SIP which clearly didn't remove the scratches.

    Great paint correction. The Flex with the a purple foamed wool pad and M105 is an awesome combination.

    Try and get a wax and grease remover like prepsol or Aquasol. this ensures a very clean paint surface.

    Another example, where I spent over 100 hours under the hood without any protection on the fender. These are pretty deep scratches that the SIP couldn't take care of (refer to this post).

    This is a quick test job without any sealant/wax, with some minor marring remaining.

    Are the dots small scratches, dirt, or residue? Looks great none the less!

    That's dust because the picture is a macro shot.

    i honestly can't wait to do corrections to my car.....i see the swirls on my car and it's driving me nuts. I work at a detail shop still learning but all i have access to is ardex stuff. Not sure if that's a good thing to use on my car or not. i'm thinking about just saving up and buying a flex and then buy all the things necessary to get my car corrected.
