Cleaned up the car and took some pictures (56K beware)

Last weekend I spent all day on Sunday playing with my buffer that I ordered quite some time ago and never got to use. Did a wash then claybar then polish then wax... then took some pictures. Let me know what you think.

That's as clean as clean can get.

I've never seen the H.O. on a formula, nice originality.

looks great, I usually dont like the SLP HO hood on a formula but yours looks great!

Nice job, I also like the lack of "FORMULA" badging on the doors

I ordered a pneumatic buffer from Griot's Garage (my grandfather owned numerous Porsches and swears by them) and bought their Claybar (with their claybar pad for the buffer) Machine Polish 3 and Best of Show Wax they suggested.

It was my first time using it and I can't wait to do it again.
