Detailed my SL

Thank you guys, i am very happy with the results ![Smilie](https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
@ George - You may be pleased to know that Greg from DI helped me last year with that nice PC/Pads kit and it still works like a charm!
@ Moe - Thank you for your kind words and also thank you for that Z Concours, i love it. I enjoy using it, the smell turns the wax application into a therapy![Smilie](https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
@ Phil - I followed your advice on Lusso Oro prewax and i must say it's a great product, so easy to work with and really brings something to the finish, thank you !
The correction was done with the orange spot pad and SIP, it took 2 passes and some muscle![Smilie](https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
In the future i intend to go with a rotary i believe it will improve the finish by some degree but at the moment i am relaxed using the PC

Thank you !
Billberry is a great product, does the job with ease. I don't have anything to compare it with, since it was so good i didn't felt the need to buy anything else
