Default 1st time Porter Cable results

This is my first time ever using the Porter Cable. I went with Meguires 3 step process. Overall I am pleased with the results, most swirl marks were eliminated or dulled, but there are still many presant. Wish I could have taken more pics of the whole car outside but it was raining.

looks much better. To get rid of those weird "jumping off the paint reflections" try using the buffer in long sweeping motions with constant pressure. You will get a much more even buff. Also go in opposite directions meaning sweep horizontally then come back vertically then horizontally again. Practice makes perfect. Good luck.

I did steal your idea A while back I was looking for pics of charcoal blackbird stripes, and you posted some pics of your car with em winning a show right? Ive thought about using the other pinstripe, but I think one looks good for now.
