The paint on this car was extremely hard. Time to order some more aggressive pads! After SEVERAL passes using Meg's M105 Ultra Cut Compound:

Cat scratches are gone and we now have some clear reflections:

This is my woman's car. It looks so freaking good. Chad is amazing!!! I spy my S2000 in one of the pics! :D

The car will get a "photoshoot" soon.

I recommend Chad for any of you guys to get some detailing done. I'm too lazy for all that work. The S2000 is next. :)
