It's amazing how well this car cleans up for being 4 years old... fine grain polish (3M) and 2 coats of 3M wax. I used an orbital buffer for the first time on the car, and it turned out very nice.

Check out the cross drilled rotors too... that's after about 3 or 4 months of usage.

Very Nice! I need to get that done on mine...my paint feels a little rough to the touch but looks great.

Honestly it wasn't that bad. I don't have the best orbital buffer... it's just one of those cheap little 7" ones from Wal-Mart. I used 3M Rubbing Compound II on most of the upper surfaces (hood, doors, trunk and roof), applied by hand, and then removed with the buffer. I needed to remove the little film it left behidn by hand, which wasn't a big deal... but yeah, then a couple coats of wax. Using that orbital made everything SO much easier. If I had done all of that by hand it would have been more like 8 hours.
