looks great, but leave the dawn soap in the kitchen and use a dedicated car soap.

Must be the reflection from the surrounding yard I am seeing.

You used SIP with an orange pad with a PC?

If so, how did it finish and how long did it take you? It seems aggressive and I am curious on the appearance after that step and how the actually polishing went etc.

thx

Wow it looks great ... but I'd also like to know how to finish off with an orange pad. I always need to go a round or two more with something white or blue after using orange.

LOL, we were tired and only used the orange. We didn't want to use the white pad and super finish. It looked good after we polished but these pics were taken right after the HD cleanse and the titanium wax was applied.
