UPDATED!!!!!!!!!COME INSIDE! detailed the maro- ONE TRILLION PICTURES... ive had my pc since october, and i had not used it until yesterday. i woke up around 8 and headed to pepboys for a few last minute items. let me just say that i am extremely happy with the pc, and i highly recommned that anyone who doesnt have one to get one. its an extremely amazing machine!
i only had 5 hours, so i had to rush some steps.
i washed my car at the car wash and dried it with meguiars water magnet. i used meguiars hot rims multi piece wheel wash. this stuff worked great. my rims are black with machined face, i used a wheel brush to work it in a bit. i was really impressed with this wheel cleaner, if u have painted or powder coated rims check it out.
i clay bared the car with megs clay bar.
i used megs # 80 with an orange lake country pad. i took my time applying it, and i was somewhat happy with the results. i dont know if it was my lack of experience or if the #80 is just not that great, but i still had some swirls and some scratches. but most of the swirls are gone. is the #9 any better?
i applied a coat of nxt with a white pad. i had to rush this one a bit, but i think it came out good. ive used the nxt before and its always looked great on my car.
finally i applied some #26 by hand. this stuff smelled great.
i was happy with the results, but i think there is a lot of room for improvements, help, advice.
i dont have my memory stick adapter, and the pics of the car right after the detail are in that memory stick. ill post them up tomorrow. in the mean time here are pics i took today with a different camera.
enjoy. please comment
the night pics really sucked
i took these with a new camera so im still trying to learn how to use all the features. hope yall liked them

What speed did you have the PC on ? did you work the product long enough for it to break down fully? (don't work it until it is dry)
#9 is not better than #80, it is different .. #80 has a decent amount of cut, and it responds very well to the PC .. #9 has less cut, and a lot of filler in it it will take care of some light swirling, and cover what it doesn't remove .. not a good choice for heavier swirls, unless you are using it to follow something else... I use it after #80 on lighter colored cars .. on darker colors, I follow #80 with #82.
