Looks pretty good.

Do you guys use a Buffer, or do it by hand? I've yet to buy a buffer, but waxing for me takes at least 3-4 hours without so I'm thinking it might be worth it.

Today was a wash and hand wax.

Haven't gotten the portercable on it in a few months as it hasn't been out that much.

Wow it's like a mirror. Definitely worth picking up the buffer though.

Oh believe me...it gets hit with plenty of top of the line products.

My good friend is a detail freak and likes to use my black T/A as a test car. I trust him completely, so no worries.
The paint already has a great base on it, he just wanted to test out the new wax.

I typically use Prima Amigo before waxing with a top of the line wax. That goes on with the PorterCable.
And that is factory 9 year old paint.
