Thanks, guys!

The polishing work was done with a Porter Cable 7424 polisher.

You do amazing work indeed, do you have any write ups and engine bay pics?

During the process, doesnt dust settle on the car? It drives me nuts, how in the hell or what would you recommend to get it to that finished look?

It's not a great picture, but:



Dust does settle a bit outside, but I only pull it outside for pictures. I do all the work in the garage with the door down.

What type of write-up are you looking for?

Well to be completely honest with you and without sounding like too much of an amateur, a step by step detail write up.

Or correct me if I'm wrong, but bodywise, just use the products on your exterior list in the order you have listed them?

I guess another question is, your using the PC polisher, does the pad your using eliminate swirls as seen above or create them, thus the reason I have always done everything by hand.

Thanks for your time.

I need to get rid of the swirls on my car, but i dont have the money for a porter right now. I'm hoping to be ordering the zaino starter kit soon so maybe my car has hope. Nice job as always ZaneO, you do amazing work and I wish you were closer.
