How much of the car do you still have to do by hand? I've looked at the car and it just doesn't look like I can get the whole thing done with the polisher alone. Any tips? Thanks for the help! I'll post some pics before and after.

You can get to more of the car than you probably realize with the polisher. I would say I got 85-90% by machine. I used a double sided applicator (one side for cutting, one side for polishing) to get the tough spots like under the rear wing, etc. It will also depend on how in-depth you are getting and how good/bad your paint is. You might have mentioned in another thread already, but what products are you using? I used Pinnacle XMT products and got great results. Good luck man, let us see the pics when you got em!
