PICS of the Vette after compounding, polishing and glazing with PC Just got a PC7424. Very happy with the results considering what I started with in a daily driver.... This nose was all to hell before I started...

Porter Cable. See sticky. BTW looks real good 
. I need to get around to doing mine. Finally just washed it after too long for me to post (stupid road construction, my car is perpetually dirty

The car started out in pretty bad shape, my daily driver. Here are some shots of the nose cone before and an after shot (after one pass of swirl remover)...

Haven't seen results like that with anything other than the 3M one that came out a while ago. Car looks great man.

The SFX-1 cutting polish really smoothed out the chipped clear coat on the front bumper of the car. Also smoothed out the road rashed clear coat around the backs of the wheel openings.
I need to do the final step of 2 coats of the wax they reccomend with the "Perfect Shine" from Autopia this weekend.
Car looks great.
