Buffed my car today xD
Today after work I busted out the 9" polisher and some polishing compound and hit the black on my car since it had a lot of swirl marks. It looks pretty good, but whoever re-painted my car used too coarse of sandpaper on the roof and you can see the scratches through the paint oh well, it needs to be repainted anyway... Also I gotta take the fin off and polish underneath it but it looks a lot better than it did. Now I just have to wash the rest of the car and buff it and see how it looks, and get some pictures of it.

TTIWWOP. (Is there an O in that? cause without is pretty much one word, but the acronym looks funny without an O.)

Re: Buffed my car today xD
Thanks. I actually had my painter buff the car a few weeks after it was sprayed. I am VERY happy with the results. That picture is about a year old, but the car has only acrued ~400-500 miles since then. It will be at Reading.
