Looks a lot better. I really like the blacked out rims and grill. One thing on the pics though. Get it away from the driveway cause the fence and hoops kinda get into the paint job and dont show off the nice detail work. Im in for some pics in a parking lot or somewhere but nice all the same

The buffer is a porter cable and I used some ultra cut compound, followed by sealant, and then applied some wax

dude, looks good now but i do all my detailing by hand. i have a completley different system for doing that and does'nt dig into your clear like a buffer does. not knocking on maximaboy's work, but your car was clearly in need of a wash and clay and wax. there are simple ways to keeping your car's finish fresh, so you dont have to wash it all the time to keep it clean.

with hazing as he had, how do you propose that claybarring takes it out? but he has a great start now, as long as he maintains a wax job at the LEAST once a year, it should still be good to go

Yeah i use to do my all my detailing by hand back in the day too, but i got more educated on using a buffer so I do all my polishing with it now because the outcome is better "IMO". Depending on which buffer pad you use, will determine how much it will cut into the paint. Sometimes you can burn the paint too if your not careful. I'm still learning myself!!

i never used them, always by hand and i use all professional grade products so the "hazing" would'nt have been a problem. im assuming you had 4 or 5 pads different thickness and grade?? and you dont re-use any after 2 panels of use,right? my only problem is paint swirls from those things always pop up with even the best pads and buffer from what i've seen.

Yeah I have different pads for each purpose. You have to change up your pads alot sometimes. I havent had any problems with swirl marks afterwards though. I have pics of a Black BMW 750i i did a while back. I'll try to post the pics of that.
