A little PC madness on my 4th gen

HectorC and I got together and went nuts on my car. Hector polished first using his rotary and I did the rest with my PC set to 5. The process:

Wash with Z7
Sonus SFX2 on medium cutting pad (rotary)
Poorboys SSR1 on Sonus SFX2 pad (PC)
Swirlbuster on Sonus SB pad (PC)
Z5 Pro/ZFX/Z8 (PC)
Pinnacle Sourveran (by hand)

The car had been clayed earlier this year and has been polished by hand. I knew the machines could do better so I set out to prove it.

I still can't get over how much better your car came out. I thought your paint was already in good shape.......
