Thanks man you helped me learn alot. I am going to order the stuff hopefully in the next week or so and try and get my swirls out. I tried it by hand and got nowhere. I will follow the steps you said and start as least aggressive and work my way to more aggressive until I find the right setting. Hope everything works out for me. I will post up when I order everything.

Very nice job, I washed mine the other day to get all the salt off of it. It was like 35 degrees but I had to lol, good thing for a brush on a stick.

Its about a 1% chance of doing ANY damage to paint with a porter cable Dual action. Even with the heaviest cutting pad and some M105 it would take sitting in one spot for 5min to probably cause any..Please dont try and make it sound like its hard to do and scare others because its not hard at all and there is maybe a 5min learning curve on that PC before you are good to go with it

Yeah the PC is a great system since it isn't going to tear your paint up really quick if you don't know what you're doing, and if you do know what you're doing, you're cutting hours off your labor on the car.

The main tip here is don't use a rotary tool on a car unless you know what you're doing, because that will QUICKLY eat through your paint.
