Default 8HRS and a Porter Cable

First off,I have NOT used a orbital a day in my life.Here are pic's I took after using a PC-7424XP and a product from a vendor that will not be named at this time (PM me with any questions).The product I used took ALL swirls out of my Black WS6.We all know that Black anything is a S.O.B for swirls and scratches.
I clay bar'd,Swirl/Haze removed,polish,waxed.The product I used is even color coded to the correct pads you use in each step.
For all you out there that are nervous or questionable about detailing your own car,bite the bullet and try.This is my FIRST attempt in detailing my own car.
I took 95% of the swirls & spider webs out of the finish just the first time!
I'm not sure about any other product out there but I was floored at how easy it was and the outcome I achieved! WOW!!!!

Looks good. It's not rocket science but it does take some time. The PC is a great tool.
