2001 hyundai accent. I'm only doing some of it tonight, as I have a full Zaino detail tomorrow morning on a 2006 Audi A6.

I'll do some before/during/after pics tonight.

The orange pads are the Lake Country (County?) pads. Very good pads, expensive too.

I got everything on sale.....then i saw an email from Autogeek.net....: all buffers are free shipping, and 20% off buffer accessories (ie backing plate and stuff). Now is the time to buy. the code is HOLIDAY5 i think.

Here are some pics of the process. Very difficult to take good pics of white paint at night.

BEFORE:

Product first used:

After 2 passes I switched to the #83, then 2 more passes with #80.

Final results:
(oh and keep in mind, there is no Zaino or any wax on the paint yet)

I'm gonna try to finish or at least get a large portion of the car done tomorrow. Detail all morning/afternoon....then come home and do another car all night.....the things i do for cars lol.

Nice. . . I just picked up my PC this week (sucks I saw the same damn email about the free shipping and discount a couple days later). Definitely worth it. Got the 3 Lake County pads too. Definitely helped the black on my Camaro.

I've finished the right hand side with 2 passes of #83, and 2 passes of #80.

Driver side is done with 2 passes of #83, got 2 more passes of #80 to go.

well don't expect too much, as this is my first one with a PC. Oh, and I won't be able to get any pics in the sun for a couple days (holiday + bad weather).

I'm using speed 5.
