Default Chadwick's new "Paint Correction System"

Just finished buffing my car out with Neil Chadwick's new system, and as well as his Triple Play it is amazing !!!!!! It uses three different pads and two compounds along with the Triple Play Wash, very easy can not hurt the paint !!!!! He recommends this buffer // PORTER-CABLE 7424XP 6-Inch Variable-Speed Polisher !!!! The first pic shows the right rear quarter that was buffed and the hatch lid and pillar post were not buffed !!!!!













All is left is my Bezel and Radio from DD Mods !!!!! (and the weather, 3 to 5 inches of snow Thursday)

Pounder, what color is your car? Mine is Pewter. Getting a car in any type of silver color is always a challenge, and yours looks great.
You guys are getting me all charged up about Chadwicking!!

I thought that my car had a nice shine, but as I was doing the buffing the parts I didn't do looked cloudy.

I'd say the results of this test are a pass! Has Neil mentioned any ideas for when he might release this product to the public?

Also, I've done some detail work but never got into paint corrections and all that. Is this product kinda complicated to use with lots of elbow grease involved, or is it as simple and easy as Triple Play?

The product is ready, it's the packaging and promotion stuff that isn't . I think if you called him he might sell it to you, tell him I sent you
It is very easy to use all I did was let the weight of the buffer do the work,and the system is designed for the everyday Joe and cannot ruin the paint. I had some light scratches that didn't come out and Neil said you could get them out with a more aggressive compound but your taking away some of the clear coat so what trade off do you want?

Man you have a bigger set that I do! LOL

Mine needs a through cleaning but I just cannot bring myself to take the buffer to the paint. Maybe I should buy the "system" and try my truck first then the Corvette.

You did a great job, the car looks really good.

Snow coming here as well, lots of it still on the ground so I have time to do it right.

Neil has all car people in mind, it is very simple and you cannot hurt the paint !!!! (unless you leave the buffer in one spot dry on high speed) Neil will always take the time to explain things (best after 4:30 eastern)
