Looks like its time I buy a dual action polisher. I have been eyeing the porter cable for a while. I have a OB with some imperfections that I want to take care of. Thanks for posting this!

14 hours man, that was pretty fast if you ask me. your work is superb.
I am new to this forum, I used to have a 2005 acura TL. I detailed that car using porter cable buffer, used 105 / 205 and took 3 days lol ! 8\6 hrs each day.
good job man!

Well done sir. I second the use of a sealant vs the wax. You'll get longer lasting results. You can top the sealant with wax from time to time if you want. Note you can NOT layer sealant on top of a wax.

Never used it, but I've read a lot of people with black vehicles like Blackfire Wet Diamond sealant. So how is your paint after a year? Hopefully it won't require as much correction as before.

Thanks for the info. I'll look into the Blackfire Wet Diamond sealant.
I wash my G just about every weekend and Im careful with the washing procedure but after a year it needs a little bit of correction, not even close to what I had to do last time.
