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.

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.

Hi Mike,
Can you turn me on to your painter in NJ.
Any ides how much a full paint job including work on some scratches, and parking lot dings might cost?
Thanks,
Steve

That's why I didn't use a high speed buffer But yeah I need to wetsand it and buff the whole car...

I'll get pics tomorrow, it's been cloudy and stuff lately, but tomorrow is supposed to be pretty nice so (hopefully) I will wash it and get some pics
