Default Detailed this weekend - Porter Cable 7424

I spent some time buffing out the stang this weekend with a pile of products from Obsessive Detail and the car looks better than I could have imagined. When I first picked it up it was almost pink with oxidation so I got some advice from Juztang and went from there. I've also hit my other vehicles with it and I've been real happy with the results. Easy to use andthe cars have come out amazing. This was an investment worth every penny.

I usually clay the front and rear and hit them with rain-x. Works good.

Thanks. Yeah, it's the original single stage paint. I was surpised I was able to get that kind of shine and depth out of it considering the condition it was in. It still shined, but it was really milky with oxidation. I put two coats of sealant on it after a light compound and polish. Still have to wax it! That'll be tomorrow after the sealant cures.

I'm afraid of burning my paint lol. I just stick with the applicator pad and the meguiars NXT generation wax or the meguiars cleaner wax. Makes it shine pretty nice. But your car looks phenominal! Great job. Can you give details on exactly what you used?
