A buddy of mine asked me to come along, so here are some picts. It was a lot of fun, though I wasn't able to stick around for the whole thing. Most of my picts came out poorly, the sun was brutal and my camera had a hard time. So some are cribbed from other attendees.
I'll try to post a bit more later:
Here was about the only detailing action shot that came out very well. There was a nice half-and-half, but the photos weren't any good. And I forgot to take any of people working. Plus, the garage was very poorly lit.
So here's some damage a guy had where he removed his "350Z" emblem:
Here it is getting worked. First we tried SFP and a polishing pad via PC.
I knew it wouldn't help, but we could see how it did. Then we stepped up to DACP and a polishing pad. Slightly better, but not great. The final step was a Cyclo, orange pads, and DACP. The result was much better. You could still see the scratching, but only if you looked just right. It was no longer plainly visible from every angle. It turned out much better than I thought it would without a rotary. The damage was really pretty significant. Here is the final result, though it's not completely removed as it appears in the photo (you can see it in this photo a bit if you look carefully):
And lastly (you can see the terrible time my camera was having):
Here's my car in the morning before I left. All ready to show up some Nissans. It was touched up with #16 and Final Detail:
