Kevin, yes, I like them very much. But I only use them on Tamiya clear. I never polish a pigment paint with them. Tamiya clear is a very tough clear, so it is hard to burn through it unless you are using a very course grit like 1500 or 2400. I usually start with 3200 grit and then up from there. You really don't see the magic until you go from 8000 to 12000. Then suddenly it gets mirror like, but you have to be patient with the process.

I hear with the 2k clear you really don't need to polish but also that it is very dangerous to inhale so make sure you are wearing the proper safety equipment when using it.
