He washed it to the best of his ability but he paid someone some big money to correct the swirls he created and they created worse, deeper swirls and burned the paint with a rotary.

A 3 step product line from 3M (Perfect It-II) and I topped it off with one coat of P21S wax.

I think the original job was done with an orbital sander. Good work, Joe.

mhulslan - The shop that put the holograms into the paint used a rotary (which is what I think you mean by "orbital sander). The owner did everything by hand, the only time a random orbital polisher was used was the day I detailed the car.

Well the car looked just like it did after I detailed it but after just two washes the surface looked like before pictures. They must of used a filler type polish, then a glaze and a wax because it looked awesome, two washes later it's crap.

So much for those 'commercial' grade products.
