So I'm gonna take one out of Handz's book and do a nice detailing writeup. I fall slightly short because I didn't take pics as I went because I didn't wanna get the camera dirty, but I'll do a short writeup. I did a detail on it about 2 weeks ago, but it was my first time with the Porter Cable and I didn't use an aggressive enough pad, and there were still swirls that I found the next day. I have gotten a few cars worth of practice over the last few weeks and I have been so busy, but finally got some time today to strip the car to bare paint and start over. This time I used halogen lights to check for swirls and I got them all out. I also just mounted my 17x10.5 DD Bullitts and 315's!! Enjoy
