Hi Phil,
Any reason you are using the Green Pad instead of the Orange Pad with the Super Intensive Polish?
Thanks.
after using m105 with the yellow I wanted to get the best finish I could with the SIP as the m105 did a great job.
SIP with green pad and to finish PO85RD did a great job.
NICE! Looks awesome! Good as new! 🙂
