first job with my new polisher, this is the best my Ultra has ever looked.

Nice looking work...tell us about what you used and what pads and process?....bet you didn't think it would look that great?
 
the car had a lot of fine scratches and a few that look like fine shiney cracks in clear coat and I used turtle wax rubbing compound with orange pad but went with yellow then back to orange just on those bad spots. the rest of the car I did with orange , green than white using meguires deep crystal, cleaner with white pad, polish with all three color pads and the waxing with the white. polished all the glass with the leftover polish in a white pad. The headlight covers were all yellow like chemically melted so I sanded with 500 grit then purple scotchbrite then green then worn out green then rubbing compound then three different pads with polish and finally with Meguires plast-x by hand. pretty worn out after all that. somebody said the cyclo was a bit heavy and they were right.
 
Now that yo have a great polisher, you need to add some better polishes. I think you'll find that the results will be nicer and the work level actually lower. Menzerna, Poorboy's, Optimum, Meguiar's, etc would be good brands to try.

The car does look pretty good.
