Todd (Chachee) and I spent the weekend detailing our cars. Using my Porter-Cable random orbital buffer, we went to town on the two Mustangs with swirl removal, polish and wax. They both came out great. Todd's car really pops now.
Todd's car:
Meguiars # 80 polish/swirl remover
Meguiars #7 glaze
Meguairs #26 Carnuba wax
My car:
Meguiars #80 polish/swirl remover
Klasse All-in-one chemical cleaner & acrylic protectant
Poorboys Natty Blue Carnuba (New product for me, seeing if it works/lasts better than P21S)
Here are some pics:

Yikes! Couldn't see the dust in the sun. But the reflection is amazing.

I have been claying at least once a year. Didn't do it this year, just what we did this weekend.
And you are right Ian, it never wanted to focus on the red, it always auto focused on Jim's car. I think that it was predjudice.

I used Lake Country pads. Different foam densities depending whether you are correcting, polishing, waxing, etc.
