oh how i love my porter cable! *pics, 56k unfriendly*
i went to town on the integra yesterday.
washed it, clay barred it (oh the crap that came off
h: ), polished it with the PC, then waxed it with the PC. unfortunately the final step was kind of rushed because i had plans for the evening. but even so, i'm so happy with the end results.
i was more interesting in cleaning the paint like it has never been cleaned before anyway, so that got done nicely.
so here are some pics i took today. unfortunately it's overcast, so they didn't come out all that great. oh well. they're all untouched except for resizing, and in the hood shot, brightness and contrast was increased because it was way underexposed.
those little spots here and there is rain..
wilderness shot.. :loco:

Yep, I love my PC too. I detailed my car last week using Meg's NXT car wash, Mother's Clay bay, Hi-Temp medium cut leveler, Mother's SynWax topped with S100. I detailed my friends 99 Ford F-350 PowerStroke diesel the day before, pics are below
