Even though the car has been driving me nuts, the swirl marks have been bothering me since I purchased this car. Well I used a Porter Cable polisher and went to town this weekend. Car is now swirl free, now need to clean the interior and engine.

Yup, very good! I dare not use a buffer... i may end up with no clear coat! Lol.

Im also itching to lose the front license plate and bracket, but i don't dare as my car is still registered to NJ. :(
 
you are ballsier than I!!!!! I'm scared to burn my paint with a buffer..... so I'm gonna get mine repainted! LOL The Mark might be ok with a buff, but the LS has chips in the hood anyway
 
Looks good. I never get around to cleaning mine anymore since after a year of parking at my job I have other people paint on my bumpers and a broken grill.
 
I wanted to debadge the car and need to get under the front bumper and interior but I was being rushed, family wanted to go out for dinner so I had a time limit lol
I want to get a side thing goin detailing cars =) next up is my fiances Honda. I did it before but by hand now it is time for the polisher and really go at it. Then my neighbor wants his Explorer done, my friend has a repainted 70 Mach 1 and his 02 Infinity M45 for me
 
Did you use 3M Finese on it? It's pretty much the standard for this type job.

Nope I used a product line called Prima.I used swirl with an Orange pad on most of the car and then follwed it up with a white pad on the entire car. Topped it off with Meg NXT 2.0, then a day later sprayed on some Prima Hydro.
Yeap up in RH since Oct of last year :D Was looking at goin to Charleston this year for a weekend but instead I am sending my fiance and kids to FL for 2 weeks so we all can get a nice vaca lol
 
Looks like a nice straight car, and clean paint, too. :)

De-badging consists of welding the holes shut where the badges came off from, on my '96 anyways. (decklid) Keep the progress coming, car's looking good.
