Default Porter Cable after pics
Took some time today to refresh my car's finish. Started with 3M rubbing compound (2 times) followed Liquid Glass (2 coats). Next weekend will give a nice wax coat (New Meguiars Ultimate liquid Wax). After the Liquid Glass coat there is no real need to a further wax but I want to have a really slick look...and Im a bit OCD with the car too!

Im guessing aprox between 3 to 4 hours of work. I take my time, grabbed a few cold ones, sat my *** off a few minutes, etc. Since mine is not a daily I didnt used any claybar, in fact I used it only one time and it came up basically clean!

The porter cable really is a great machine. Especially nice for beginners just getting into detailing like many of us are.. Your T/A looks fantastic. My brother in law won't shut up about 3M compounds. Are they really as great as he keeps telling me they are? Looks like you achieved some fantastic results.

Although Im not a proclaimed professional I think they are pretty good. "Old timers" like me remember what Liquid Glass is and what good results it gives, apparently its unknown among the "young ones" but combined with a PC provides a good outcome as the pics show.

Thanks guys!
