    This kit is awesome! I got it a couple months back and can't beleive how easy it is to use, esp never ever using in the past and testing it on my new sub70k car was really scared at first. Watching all your videos Def helped and gave me the confidence I needed.

    What pad do you recommend for a car that only has 15k miles? Bought it brand new, doesn't have all that many swirls. No scratches. However, I will be applying a ceramic coating, but I also don't think I'll need to compound and polish, probably just polish from the looks of it. What pad would be the most useful in my situation?
