So over a week ago I was leaving my mom`s place and this tree came out of no where and hit my car. Yea I backed into a tree late at nite and well it wasn`t a pretty sight. Take a look at the pics:

So this weekend I decided to see how well my pc skills have become over the year. I had a pretty big challenge. I knew most of the scratches were probably way too deep to take out but I had nothing to lose. I figured it was going to get reapainted anyway. Below are the after pics of me buffing my car. I probably spent a good 45 minutes to an hour on it. I`m pretty happy with my results although I may attack a few more times. I think I may repaint my bumper.

In case you guys want to know what I used. I had a porter cable with an orange lake country pad. I did about 5 to 6 passes with Menzerna Power Gloss mixed with RMG. Cut 70%(Menezera)/30%Red Moose. Then several passes with Menzerna PO106FF and Red Moose cut the same way with a white Lake Country Pad. Let me know what you guys think.
