Dear Fellow Forum Members,

I just joined the forums, so this is my first post - I hope this is the right place for it. This is my daily driver, and I've always taken care of it with weekly washes, hand waxing etc. but with store-bought products. However, like most cars that are 15 years old, she developed some swirling and wasn't overall "clean" the way I liked it. So I decided to do it the better way with a DA and real, professional products (Pinnacle in this case).

So this is the result after approx. 3 - 4 hours using my new 7424XP, Pinnacle XMT1, Pinnacle XMT360 AIO and finished off with Pinnacle XMT360 spray wax. I was happy with the results, and LOVE the Pinnacle products. Now that the finish is much cleaner than it was, and relatively free of swirl marks, I'll likely just use the XMT360 to keep it clean and finish with the XMT360 spray wax or the XMT180 paste wax (en route from AutoGeek).

I also did a friend's Lexus where I was able to remove acid rain, bird dropping paint stains, and remove scratches. Lastly, did a friend's Totota SUV (pics also attached). This is addicting! :-)
