Default system one polish/wax

system one sent me some of their polishing compound and wax to try out and give a review on it. i am far from an expert detailer, and this was also my first time using a pc, so if anyone is hesitant on trying an orbital buffer out because of lack of eperience, this may help there too. sorry, i know the pictures are terrible, the weather sucked, lighting was horrible in the garage, and im just plain worthless with a camera lol. i shoulda taken pictures that showed polished and waxed panels next to ones that hadnt been done yet, but like i said im not an expert. the polish worked great, i was very impressed. the wax really suprised me tho. i would never consider using a spray wax, imo its a waste of time and money. system one's spray wax, is definately worth using tho. it left a nice shine, and actually has lasted too. its been a month or so since i detailed the car, and it has done nothing but rain. ive washed the car probly 7 or 8 times and it still looks like the day i detailed it. i probly wouldnt use it in place of a sealant or carnauba wax, but would be great in between 2 or 3 time a year applications.
