Default Porter Cable convert......(pics for proof)

8 hours later, wash, clayed, washed, Menzerna twins applied with the 7424, and topped off with a coat of Z2..........the 7424 did a great job on the swirls on the hood and tail, the 2 worst painted parts on our cars......now the pics.....







look at that fluid hood.......

Those pictures there have made up my mind.

As SOON as my tax check comes in, I'm ordering the PC buffer w/ the pads and twin setup.

Wow, that looks great!

Are those 18s?

Did you finally put those band clamps on?

Even if you haven't done that yet, the car looks GREAT!
