Porter cable and reflects polish. Could have went a little more aggressive.

reflects polish... orange or white pad.... Still a few deeper marks and I could have went a little stronger. Thanks.

VERY nice job -- looks amazing! How did you get the contour in the rear (behind the doors and above the wheels?

o, that I didn t even know. Thanks for the tip. Last time I didn t even tape because of the weakness in the random polisher and my careful use.
I am really looking forward to lease end as this color/paint is so hard to keep to my liking, LOL.

Looks great!
Since you're infected with the bug, scratch the itch and get a Flex polisher.I haven't heard of the polish you're using, but would certainly try them. I got hung up on Adams Polishes years ago and haven't experimented lately, so it may be about time. Adams has a nice polish/pad system and ships same day most of the time.
For synthetic wax, I still use Zaino, and either their or Wolfgangs car shampoo, along with Zaino Ultra Sheen detail spray.
As you can see, I'm infected, too.

Paint correction and ceramic coating are well worth the time and money!

Send Polished Detail a PM if you want more info.

I picked up my Flex 3401 8 or 9 years ago. Back then it was a little over $300. The main advantage is it orbits like crazy, so the machine does most the work, while being very difficult to burn the paint.
I bought 3 different polishes when I bought the Flex - coarse, medium and fine. I've never opened the coarse polish and the corresponding pad has never been used, since medium polish corrects most swirls.
I've also used on my boats, and one time used in a shower that the tile was dull!
