Default Gotta love polishing with a DA

Paint on this car was pretty bad. 2000 Benz ML with 125k miles on it. Paint had never been waxed. Pics are kinda crappy cause they were taken at night. Gonna do the whole car when I get back from Florida next week.

Before


After

which polisher do you use?

i have the random orbital cyclo and the rotary dewalt. the dewalt is good for rusty sherman tanks; it's so strong.

I just bought a porter cable. Can't wait to use it. I still need the backing plate & the meguiars pads and some #80 & #83.

Damn that's nice.. I'll have to invest some time and money into detailing my car/truck or have it done for me by someone this summer! Car doesn't need it bad but those results are awesome! Truck could use a really good buff, wax and polish!
