Professional detail or do-it-yourself. Used a power tool?

I used to be a professional detailer and yes, I used my own equipment!

Since my car is new this is what I used....


And thanks guys... it took me about 6hrs to do what you see here.

Used a PC or an orbital?
I think I can beat it; if not, real close. Are you intending to go any of the upcoming meets?

I use a PC but it's not just the buffer. It's having the right pads and knowing which pads to use and when. I used 4 different pads for this process and it was a 5 step process.

I haven't really been to any events and not sure when or if I will make any. I'll keep my eyes open though.

Here's mine, i didnt quite go as all out as you did nick. I just used meguires NXT gen wax and put it on by hand, plus im def. no professional, not bad for 2 coats and driving 120 miles to the show. but to make it short, no i dont think anyone could beat that shine.
