so Aaron (d00t) was kind enough to contact me via PM and take a look at my swirls.
He taped up a small 1 sq. ft. area, and gave it a few passes with a buffer.
Already that section is a marked improvement over the general health of the paint throughout the rest of the car, and I thought I already had outstanding paint for a garage queen.
I'm definitely hoping to get the full treatment someday. washing and waxing alone just can't compare!
p.s. Aaron has so many tools, polishes, waxes, and various sundry chemicals and applicators, I've got major garage envy. :biggrin:
