New pics of my car!
I just got done fully detailing my max. Ahhh the paint is so smooth and glossy. There isn't a swirl mark on the entire car. The Porter Cable 7424 is definitely worth it's weight in gold. 
Check out my cardomain site, page 4. Here is a link:

I also have a picture of my se gauges with the aluminum gauge bezel and chrome gauge rings. There is also an up close shot of my new rims, Kosei R/T Pentas, 17x75, weighing only 16 lbs. Not too shabby.
Enjoy the pictures.

As far as the Porter Cable 7424 it's the best machine polisher I have ever used. I've used a few of them from orbital buffers to rotary. The Porter ourperforms them all. I love it because it's virtually idiot proof as far as your finish goes. The only thing you gotta watch are the pads and make sure you keep them clean.

Looking good.
Where did you get the buffer at?
It was a package deal...the buffer with a velcro backplate for easy pad changing, a cutting pad for oxidation, a polishing pad, and a finishing pad. Also a terry cloth bonnet, and a brush attachment. So you can basically do it all from cleaning your carpet and leather, to polishing your paint and applying waxes. I think the price is like $215 for the package deal.
I also got their microfiber towels. Those are sweet for buffing out the polish and wax too.
The steps I used were...
1. Wash the car (obvious).
2. Buff with 3M swirl remover for dark colored cars.
3. Buff with Meguire's show car glaze.
4. Apply two coats of P21s wax.
I am thinking of putting Klasse sealer on it sometime this weekend too to protect the shine. I took my time with it and made sure I covered everything and it was as perfect as I could be.

I think I'll stick to my current course with my job and grad school. Detail on the side whenever I can I suppose.

Agreed.
However, the rest of the car looks great. Nice cleaning job! I would love fresh shiny paint like that... but mine is 5 years old, so not a chance.
