how bad is your paint? Is it swirled bad?

I just finished my friends black 996 it only took ~3.5 hours for the exterior only and it was in bad shape, I dont know how it takes people 8 hours for exterior only, unless you dont have a PC, or rotary

meh its not swirled too much, it just has slighty dull finish and is scratched in various places, the rear tailights are rather cloudy too. Really I just want the exterior done, I can clean the interior myself.

[/quote]

I just use a D/C PC

if the car is really bad ill use an orange pad, with PB ssr 3  
then go to a white pad, and use some Zaino PC or DACP  
then hit it with some Z5 Pro/ZFX.

I have used KSG in the past as a sealer topped with #26 but I am waiting for my Zaino Clear Seal Paint Sealer to come in, I have read many great things about it, from ease of use, to shine and durability
