Nice Dan great shine what grit are your wheels? And do you use a diamond paste for the final? I can't seem to get a shine that good.
Jason

The diamond wheels are 60/80 & 170/200 and the belts are 400, 600, 1200, & 6 Microns. I've learned to look the cab over carefully after each stage to make sure all the scratches from the previous are removed, especially the belt stages. The unit comes with 3 diff. diamond paste syringes, 2 feathering pads and 2 leather pads. The diamond paste comes in 8K, 14K & 50K but I've been skipping the 14K stage. The 50K polish really brings out that crisp shine and then I buff using the clean leather pad.

Hope that helps....
Dan
