True, except my dual action polisher and pads are all packed up. It would have taken me at least an hour to move a bunch of crap around in my shed to find the box with the polisher. I also don't have a garage, so using power tools on the car means getting out my 50' extension cord to run to the side of house. So hand polishing it is!

It is quite a relaxing way to spend a few hours.

Thanks. When I actually do polish it with my DA this fall I may try a ceramic coating. I've typically just used Collonite or Poorboys waxes.
