well those pics didn't show much. Let me try that again. After: (Brother, what a noob!)

After using my new PC7424XP on family members' cars it was time to remove the copious swirls from my own. It had some swirls in it when I took delivery and then I got stupid lazy and ran it through a car wash one time. I knew better but "hey I've a new PC on the way. It'll be okay." WRONG WRONG...
