Brought my paint back to life!! PICS INSIDE well my youth pastor has been a professional detailer for a long time and he recently hired me to go on some details with him so he can teach me a few tricks of the trade and get paid for it at the same time! we had nothing to do yesterday afternoon so we went to his house and washed my car, then he let me do a 5 step paint restoration on my car BY MYSELF!! it turned out awesome IMO but sorry no before shots, only after. also, his polisher is AMAZING. its a dual head polisher and was pretty hard to handle at first but i got the hang of it. remember this is 9(almost 10) yearold paint. Also, the front bumper is all messed up because some jackass backed into me in a parking lot and i didnt catch him/her and the paint just chips away now when i wash it or just from driving. im getting a new one though for christmas.
1. washed with meguiars NXT and MF mit, dried with a Cali blade and absorber
2. heavy cut pads with paint cleaner
3. medium pads with medium cut polish
4. light cutting pads with premium polish
5. finishing pads with premium polish
6. seperate finishing pads with finishing glaze.
all supplies are made by RightLook
so before futher adue(sp?)
rear quarter panel haha I look short
Enjoy! sorry if i got too carried away with the number of pics..

That's impressive. 
For a moment though, I thought you might have dropped your polisher in the gravel just before you did the bront bumper cover. 
Nice Work!
