I was out there off and on for most of it. He worked on it using several steps, various cutting pads I think, and once done he'd take a towel to it to buff off the remainder of the powder. That's where we saw that the towels being used -- even though MF -- still slightly marred. It didn't happen until I let him use my zaino towels that it wasn't a problem.

I hope so. I know he used Optimum products which contain no oils or fillers.

There were two distinct scratches that required wetsanding. One was done by a body shop before him and the other was done by him, but in an effort to save the clear we only went so far. That scratch will have to be filled unfortuately.

I noticed that as well...but those are already messed up from the previous owner. I may end up just removing them one day and blacking the car out completely.
