Following up M105 compund was 106ff w/ green ccs pad which im really starting to like. 106ff cleaned up nicely after M105. After each coat of polish I wiped the car down with a 50/50 mix distilled water and IPA(91%) to remove any exess oils or polish residue. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by Smoke; 03-23-2008 at 07:23 PM. |
