The driver quarter and the rear panel are nowhere near done but Ron wanted it out so I made them work for now.

    Washed Regal, pulled out the porter cable and hit it with super intensive, finish polish, sealant and wax. She's looking about as good as 216K can.

    Jayke..it's the best you can get for what it does. XP7424 is used by tons of guys that do detailing as a hobby/living. Can't really screw anything up using this random orbital, which makes it nice for the occasional user.

    Do you have a good way to get the oxidation off of the paint on the bumpers? I washed mine the other day, and noticed that the plastic pieces look fairly oxidized as far as the paint goes...

    if the paint is like, fadded on the bumper tops, your paints already gone. i know this because mine are faded to primer. new paint is all that will help.

    if you paint is dead, flat and dull with swirl marks, it will bring all that back to life.



    edit: you can see the missing paint under my d/s headlight, in my sig pic VVVVVVVV

    Oxidation etc is exactly what a porter cable xp7424 and some polishes are made for. I use mezerna super intensive polish, then mezerna finish polish and then a sealant and ... on white I used Wolfgang Fusion wax. On black I use Soverign

    The paint is still there, it's just oxidized...like a film over top of it or something. Thanks for the suggestions!

    cuts that crap right off, if the paints not faded off. and its just oxidation.

    then it makes it look better then new.

    this pic is from when i first buffed my car, you can see clearly where i stopped with the buffer, even shined up the tail light.
