Getting into detailing some pics!

Just been trying out my Porter Cable (electric polisher)
Using my van as a tester, it looked quite shiny from a distance but was quite badly swirled / scratched.
Using a light cutting compound did some testing on the bonett, managed to get just about a perfect finish but decided to just go for a decent finish on the rest in the end as there was no way I would end up keeping it swirl free in the future
The pics are not the best but shows a nice shine in the end after the compound, polish and wax coats. plus the first shows a poor 50/50 shot of the bonett.
