Polishing older single stage paint can be tricky. If you don`t cover the edges with tape it will get you in big trouble. I found a few burn marks & tried to touch them up the best I could.
I was able to remove all of the swirls & finish down hologram free in 2 steps with the Dewalt DWP849X + Makita 9227C Rotaries. Some deep marks remain but it was not smart to go fishing for them with anything more abrasive than Meguiars M205 Polish on 6.5" & 4.0" green BS pads. The paint transfer on low speeds was enough to make me nervous. The next step was done with 3MUF Polish on black BS pads. I was still getting some paint transfer on these very soft pads. For protection I gave this German beauty 3M Performance Finish on her paint & lights!
Others: Exhaust Tips polished with #0000 steel wool then Ardex Metal Mania. Wheel Lips polished with Ardex Metal Mania. Tires were treated with Optimum Opti-Bond. Head & Tail Lights were rotary polished with green/M205 + black/3MUF + 3MPF.

Andres`, mi Amigo !!
Just beautiful, perfect work !!!
I also use 1/4" and 1/8" tape... It really helps on edges especially as you know...
I absolutely love that last pic of the car with the brick wall in background! It could be a screen saver..
Thanks for all the hard work, then pictures, then editing and writing...
Amazing!!!
