isnt it nice knowing your car has its paint all in great shape when you go to shows and others look at it.

After you are all done, look at a product called "Klasse". Paint will look wet after an application and it lasts a very long time.

As many as it's needed (lol, no being an ***).
Some areas will require more than others, so you can't really put a quantity on it.

For faster results, I use fast cut compound and finish up with the glaze so it's only 2 passes if you want to count that way, but you have to know what you're doing...
What Grabber did is fine for the average folks and the result will be the same anyway.

Thanks everyone! Yeah I think its something everyone should get around to cause it really makes the cars finish come back to life. I have to be 100% honest my car has NEVER shined like this before, not even the day I picked her up. It took a long time but in the end I feel it was worth it and hopefully I wont have to go it for a while. As for passes, like pascal said it depends on how bad the area is. My trunklid was the worst part of the car (guess from always touching it & its always the dirtiest part) and I did my normal 5 overlapping section passes, but had to do that 3 times for it come out perfect. Also depends on which products you use as well as which pad, so its different for everyone.

I was originally going to bring it to a place called Oakes Detail out in P.A., but I decided theres nothing like doing the work yourself and knowing you worked for those results. Check out their Facebook page though they are a very good shop and detail everything from ferraris to toyotas.

Damn you grabber, I never noticed how many swirls/scratches I had in my paint until this thread! lol

haha my bad baker, but maybe you'll end up doing it now . I got disgusted everytime the sun would shine on my car or I would be in a gas station at night. Not sure if it's my color that shows them or mine were just pretty bad.
