Hey spin, you are definitely right about all of that. Funniest thing is that these guys know me and I always tip them very well. Well, this just goes to show you, no matter how well you treat them, they will never care for their car as if it were their own, lesson learned here.

I just ordered mine today. If you go to www.autogeek.net, they have alot of great tips. Take a look at these videos and they will show you how to take away swirl marks. It doesnt look that hard.

Hope this helps

I ordered mine yesterday and received it today. Baught everything from detailed Image. They are probably the best company I have ever dealt with. Customer service is uncomparable.

http://www.topoftheline.com/index.html i would use lake country pads, and their backing plate. these guys are excellent to deal with. I got my order the next day, yes next day. they have great prices and selection. although i did get my porter cable elsewhere, i just tried a little bit of the menzerna intensive polish, then final polish II and all i can say is wow.

ebuy, Im in queens. I would have no problems, meeting up, but it would have to be on a Sunday since that is my day off. This Sunday I might take a ride to meet up with G35 Vision. He might be checking out my car to let me know what is best for me. (G35 Vision, I can come Sunday, let me know if you still want to meet up) But I have no problems meeting up or whatever, weather should be nice from now on, and I might put on my rims this weekend. Let me know.
Idwin, I do have the lake country pads, and the backing plate. I have not yet used it. But I also have the menzerna final polish sine I didnt want to use the more abrasive stuff. Let me ask you something, when you turn on the PC with no backing plate and pad it makes some kind of rattling noise right? I turned mine on to see if it worked properly and it was making this noise, But i figured it was because there was no backing plate or anything just the metal counterwight, and is it me but on speed 1 it seemed to be spinning pretty fast. But once again nothing on it. Sorry just trying tosee if everything is right.
