Utilizing my work’s shop, I had an open bay all weekend starting Friday afternoon and the truck was picked up Sunday morning. It took about 11-12 hours, casual hours. This is my 3rd time using the PC.

Wash Super Slick & Suds
Poorboy’s Clay w/ Spray n Wipe

Using PC 7424
SSR 2.5 - CCS polishing pad – in some areas – spread #3 – polish speed 5
SSR 1 – CCS polishing pad – in some areas –spread #3 – polish speed 5
PwC Blue – CCS polishing pad – top of truck – spread speed 3 – polish #5

The next step I did just to experiment with
PwC Blue – CCS gray finishing pad – speed 3- entire truck

LSP:
2 coats EX-P (15 hours between coats) – microfiber applicator dampened with water
2 coats NB after 13 hours of second coat EX-P – microfiber applicator dampened w/ water

Exterior trim
Trim restorer using 1” and 2” foam brushes – buffed with cotton towel
Bold n Bright wheel wells
PB Wheel sealant

Inside trim & dash
Natural Look - No pictures (sorry forgot)

Please bear with me on the photos – still in the learning process to get all the angles right.

Claying process was terrible. The clay looked like this after every 18”square.

Swirls were worse in some areas but pretty much all over.

How do you like the CCS pads?[/quote]

Well considering these are the only pads I have used and own, I like them. I bought them just by the recommendations of the other detailers. I am not ready to buy different ones yet, and my experience level does not allow me to tell if they do not work or not. They appear from the 3 jobs that I have done, to do a good job. But I remember that I was not getting any splatter on the car or windows this past weekend and the product did appear to breakdown nice with little effort buffing off.
