Jedi, I thought only forward facing red or blue lights were illegal? There have been plenty of OE tail lights that are nearly all red as well.

I am using a Concours 900 DA buffer with fantastic results. The Porter Cable is similar but not as powerful. The Meguires buffer is similar but not as powerful as mine. It comes down to the polish and compounds you use with the type of pad. Different combinations give different results.

I have found a Lake Country White polishing pad with Menzerna compound is plenty aggressive for the soft RX8 paint. This will remove swirls and minor defects. Then using a Lake Country Black kompressor finishing pad for the cleaner polishes and glazes like Zaino ZAIO and Z5/Z2 or Poorboys world glaze works well then top off with a wax using the Gold Lake country finessing pad.

Remember, high speeds for defect removal and low to medium for polish and glazes then low speed for waxes. Also it is imperative that you fully work any abrasive compounds you use otherwise you run the risk of introducing hologramms or minor scratching.

Have fun. Detailing becomes an addiction.

looks good g4crx

What would be neat would be if you painted your wheels a satin grey to match the trim of the MS kit,,, that would look sick!

+1, I think that would look great as well, it would be a nice contrast.

hehe, you guys are funny. :]

I do need an undertray. I know. Just haven't gotten around to buying one.

I love my red tails. Totally a personal taste topic, I'm aware.

You know how some folks like to have a brake light in the rear rotor accent? I was planning on putting a white reverse light there. Haven't gotten around to that yet, though.

I've had cops behind me on the road...haven't been pulled over yet. knock on wood.

And yes, California DOES suck for many reasons. This is why I register my cars in Georgia. Military.
