This is my brother's car. The poor guy lives up in Michigan and the car's been sitting in his garage all winter. He finally broke down and got a polisher, pads and some polish from AG. The car was pretty swirled up and this is his 1st attempt at polishing a car. He sent me the pictures but he doesn't know I'm posting them up.

Polisher - Porter Cable 7424
Pads - Crobra Cross Cut
Polish - Menzerna PO85RD

This is a before picture he sent me a while back after he was doing some work on his engine. I let him know about swirls and told him he really needs to polish his car.

I just sent him tub of Souveran Paste. His going to put it over some Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant. I think he's going to become a real detailer now.:D

Garage looks like a mini hardware store, he's got a lot of stuff, I feel I can walk up and start purchasing stuff :D

I'm sure that car sees brutal conditions with Michigan's weather.

Great job for his first try. Didn't think the 85 would take out bad swrils, guess Nissan's have soft cc.

I'm sure my brother appreciates your nice comments.

The car looked like it had a lot of swirls not really bad deep swirls. There's a big difference. He did say he had to do multiple passes in spots. He also purchased some optimum polish. I told him to try the PO85RD first on a test spot and move up to the Optimum if need. He stayed with the PO85RD.

I told him to start out with the orange pad. I assume he did but I didn't ask him.

Lets be honest, after seeing your beautiful stable of supercars he was shamed into taking better care of his car. Under your tutelage his is sure to become a fine detailer. I'll be keeping my eyes open for his future "So and Shine" post. Oh, it looks like a great job on the Z car.
