you cant tell but it def had its share of swirls and dull spots... I used all Meg's stuff by hand. Gold wash, clay bar, ultimate compound, shining polish, and wax. I can't wait till I can get a Porter Cable and some CG stuff, I know I can do better.

Looks good dude, a little bit of swirls and stuff still there but when you get the PC and some products from CG it will do wonders. Its hard to stop buying detailing products once you start tho!

Nicely done. For my $ Meguiars is the best you'll get out of an auto parts store. Best stuff I have is the Obsessive Detail polish/glaze I bought a few years ago. Used the glaze on my gf's '09 Altima yesterday and it looks like it has a few more coats of clear.
