I really like the angle but I think it wouldve been even more beautiful if you showed a little more of the front at that same angle. Thanks for sharing!

Wow, you didnt do it by hand? I thought that was the only way to avoid swirls. Also, how old is your car and just out of curiousity did you get the Perma Plate protection?

Man you have alot to learn LOL. The PC is a great tool to use....it has a random orbit so it doesn't leave swirls like a rotary buffer.

wow nice depth.. what backing plate/applicator pad did you use? Im trying to look for the 7424, but i can't find it anywhere.. Where did you get yours from? Also the the lowes 7336 doesn't seem to be at any of my locations.
