Careful not to be too abrasive then (white pad, etc). Overpolishing your car can lead to bad things.

I ran 2 passes of the SIP and PO106..I think I'll run the SA34 powergloss this weekend since I had some acid rain etching on my hood . or use the M105/205 combo with a yellow pad and wool again
The PO85 is for jeweling.

No can do, the RX is as stock as it can get compared to my daily. If anything, I can just instruct you on what to do
