Default First Official Detail

This is my first official detail with my PC. Car is not luxury lol but I was afraid to try it on mine first so when in doubt use someone else's car as the Guinea pig.

What's up with all the micro-marring, swirls and etching on the hood???



Just kidding. Great job!!!! I can easily spend all day going over my WHITE minivan with the PC. I wonder how long it took you... Again, great job!

congrats on your detail work. Meg Colorx is a decent cleaner polish with minimum abrasiveness and some fillers. I would suggest taking sometime to read up on some autopia-carcare.com suggestions on any permanent fixes since your using a Porter Cable. I just finished using a PC w/ zaino Z-PC and Z2. I just recieved some Megs 80 and 83 last night so maybe i can try that out on the few panels i didn't go over w/ the PC.
