Well this was one SUV in bad shape, only five years old but the paint was very neglected. I used the Flex Rotary... yes I busted out a Rotary with the System One Polish and then a coat of wax. I have a bunch of photos that I will get up for you but for right now you get one before and one after.
I hope you enjoy, it took less than two hours.
Can you say oxidation...

Sorry it was getting dark but right side was down with wool and polish.

Make sure you spread it well before you turn on... and you don't have to use too much like I did.

Flip over to foam for a nice final attack!

The Flex and System One worked hard.... they are taking a break on my step stool. (Yes I need a stool to reach)

You can see the difference

You can even see my neighors house is for sale with a Pool... if you are my neighbor you get all of the good detailing supplies.

Well for my first run by myself with a Rotary I am happy with the results. System One did a great job, I even finished up with a coat of the wax. Wax is good stuff, I can't put my finger on what the smell is but it has a familiar one.
