Default Enough mechanical stuff, today it's paint.

I have been entirely focused on the mechanical aspects of the rebuild for the past 3 years. Now that the engine is in and everything is working well, I decided to do some work on the paint today. I unpacked the Porter Cable that I bought at Hershey last year, taped the trim off, and went to work. I'm very pleased with how quickly and easily it is to bring the shine back with this thing. Using the right tool always helps.
Here are before, halfway, and completed shots of the front end.

What products(s) are you using on the paint? Always interesting to see the results from all the different choices we have in car care.

I'm currently using XMT series products with my porter cable and P21S as the final wax. Looks great

Looks great. I gave up on my paint years ago. Tell us about the Porter Cable.....and the products used.
