Default Wet sanding and buffing project

Was contacted by my buddy about doing a wetsand and buff job on his s10 he had painted black. The truck used to be orange and silver. It made it to the final 4 at pinks all out at pbir when his buddy was driving it. He bought it back and is changing it up a bit. The guy that painted screwed him over by not doing the finish work. The areas he did sand were left cloudy and full of sand scratches. So I went over the truck again to make it look like it should.

Started with 1500 grit then 2000 grit meguires sand paper.
Makita buffer with a yellow cutting pad and meguires 105 ultra cut compound.
Porter cable da polisher set to 4 with a lake county orange pad and meguires 105 compound.

Then a white polishing pad set to 4 using meguires 205 finishing polish.
once he gets it back together and running I will go over it with the meguires 7 glaze and meguires 26 yellow wax.

Here are some finished pics
