First Buff with new machine

[mleblond]

Got myself a porter cable buffer with the whole shebang to get work done from eshine.ca 600$ later....

Anyways so i figure my first victime would be my mom's car. Hyundai elentra 2004 that has never seen wax since off the lot.

Sorry for the crappy pic but here is before (whole car looked like this)

And after shots (after is actually after the compound still on exposed paint) Forgot to take pictures with the sealant on. My bad.

yeah there's still fine scratches left over (not 100% perfect) but overall she woke up and though there was a new car in the driveway :chuckle

edit: you can actually see the light stand in the second pic vs the first one lol

Interesting... And you say you're coming to Toronto soon? How about packing all that stuff and giving my big-green-monster a good buff? :chuckle

+1 - same here but I'd pay you instead (considering price is decent of course) :)

Thanks for the comments guys. I would do other cars but got no time for it this weekend or the next.

Looks good, what a difference! I'm going to try this myself in the fall.

I rented a buffer once, it was a variable speed, I forget the name of it though... its the tools that have a greenish blue colour to them all. Anyway, my friends dads body shop had the same one. it worked great on my old trans am. I used 3M compounds from medium up to swirl remover (the paint was rough) and a grey pad for the cutting compounds then a white one for the swirl remover. Now I have to do it all over again on my new black sunfire.... damn black!! LOL.. Maybe you'll do it for me for a good price? PAckage deal with some vinyl pieces for my headlights... LOL

I picked up a PC over the winter and need to place an order for pads and stuff and hopefully get going on polishing my car
