2) Cut the cord off his polisher.

3) Do what Mike says.

Oh my! LOL LOL LOL.... I am laughing so hard I just broke a rib!

my buddy was kind enough to let me use his garage so i was able to do my detail in nice and warm place! (40F outside)

so here are some of the results. i was trying really hard to remove those nasty scratches as well as marks from a rotary buffer...but man, it was tough! there are still some scrathes but i am not sure if i am gonna be able to remove them completely. you cant really see them unless you get really really close after the detail. so i'll see if i will be happy under the sunlight tomorrow.

overall, i think it worked pretty well. much much bette now. work on 4 hours tonite but only got done half of the car...more work tomorrow....










taking some rests...

The defects in your latest "before" pictures don't look like they were caused by the rotary...are those the defects the rotary guy was trying to remove?

The scratches look like dirty towels were used at one point and scratched the car.The scratches look like human error.Possibe a waterblade or squeegee was used?

well, you only can see those buffer marks under the sunlight or bright light. so you see them on some of the pictures. but you cant really see it on up closed pictures. but some pictures show you there are some hazy spots. those are caused by a rotary buffer.


what you see on up closed pictures are def. caused by human or maybe the previous owner was driving through bush! but it looked like that. it was really tough to remove those scratch and as you can see, i wasnt able to remove them all. but much much better now.

the point is, the guy who detailed my car didnt even remove those scrathes..and moreover, he left rotary buffer marks too.
