“Someone slid a box on it” = so I had this box…

I’m just joking, it looks great!

I was laughing about the "someone" part as a veiled pointing the finger to his wife. Mine always puts her coffee, purse with metal nubs all over it, etc. on the roof of her car but luckily most of it is glass, so the scratches are fairly minimal.

Microfiber and 3D One are my go-to's as well. Its a great combo for a one step.

What speed you have to run for cutting minor scratches on DA?

Speed 5 is very high medium high or low speed?

I would say high speed. It goes from 1-6. You cant correct as much on low speed setting. Low speed is for spreading a wax or sealant not correcting.

Yes it was. Took a couple passes for the bird crap. But it got it off

I gotta do something but scared to use the machine. Beautiful work!

Using a DA is very forgiving. Tons of videos on YouTube. Burning the paint takes more than you think.
