Hey Rick,

It definitely takes longer than you think.

Also, if you take long with the cutting compound, it starts to dry, and then wiping it off becomes a LOT more cumbersome. Much better to work in smaller areas, and wipe off early.

Seems to work best with a criss-cross pattern. Up-down, and then left-right.

Definitely spend the extra time to tape everything off.

I did the windshield too with the cutting and polish, and it helped somewhat, but I don't think the cutting compound is strong enough for glass.

Mike
