I saw your first post and the three steps/photos that one guy posted of the Cadillac hood. Yours looks just as good.
Is that the first time you ever used a rotary buffer? If so, that's quite an accomplishment.

anyways from what i have read the OB its very soft so i messed up with compounding then i tried so many things with no luck, the swirls were just there, if it wasnt for the detailing forum i would have spent more money and the car would have looked the same
no more swirls though thanks for the compliments guys

i believe the pc is not really a rotary but an orbital. instead of spinning in circles, its more of an oval motion. this helps eliminate the burn/scuff marks that can happen from a high speed rotary. autopia.com is definitely the #1 site when it comes to cosmetic car care. i wish i had the time and effort to put into it because your car looks amazing! keep up the good work.

Car looks good man (not that it didn't look good when I saw it in Orlando) great detail job. I might have to rent some of your detailing talents since I'm completely incompetent when it comes to working a PC or rotary.
