As I said in the title it was the first time I work with a Porter Cable... and I love it... very good piece of machinery!!

I've started at 11am and finished at 11.30pm...

This car have 6 years so we can start to observe some swirls...

My cat's feet...

Is was washed with Sonax using the awsome sheep skin's glove from Pinnacle and dryed with a WW towel. Plastics, rubber were protected.

Allmost all the painels were polished with the next method:

1x Orange Propel Advanced/Menzerna Intensive Polish @ Porter Cable (speed 4.5)
1x Blue Propel/Einszett Metalic Polish @ Porter Cable (speed 2)

The roof was very bad so I used a stronger method

2x Yellow Propel/Einszett Extra Paint Cleaner @ Porter Cable (speed 5)
1x Green Propel/Einszett Paint Polish @ Porter Cable (speed 4)
1x Blue Propel/Einszett Metalic Polish @ Porter Cable (speed 2)

Very nice work! Don't be worried about turning the PC up to 6 when working compounds and polishes.

Excellent work in and out! Grojet + 16 is a very durable combination too.

Wow that is a very sharp looking car. Great job.

I don't understand one thing though.

Is this the same Rover company that the guy from Top Gear always rags on? If it is man. I don't get where all the hate comes from.
