Gave my car a good compound in select areas for scratch removal, then a full polish and wax!
Rain off and on made my day very difficult, about 8 hours total on the car
Used a powerfist orbital, miguires ultimate polish, gold wax and #4 compound (will update with proper name)

Great results! Microfiber or wool pad on a Festool? What was your instrument of choice?
Microfiber bonnet with a wool pad underneath to provide a bit of error room. Will be swapping to 3M foam pads for next time.
Orbital was a powerfist 7in, less than 100$ and worked very well. Had a bit hand polishing as the 7in pad was a bit to large for some areas. Overall very pleased with results.
DAYUMN!!!!!!!! Now i feel i need to spend some 1on1 time with my car.... lol
End result looks really sweet! :thumb:
Glad to see another guy OC about his finish like me! :coolgleam:
OC... That's one way to put it. Firm believer in paint care. Really enjoy the process cleaning/waxing etc. One of the few areas of a vehicle you can show off your hard work.
Here's my 2004 F150.
