First, I apologize for the lack of before shots, it was a really hard color to capture imperfection.
So, here is a 2010 blue slate G37 coupe, it was bought new a month ago and has around 2,000 miles on it. It was an extremely hard (and confusing) car to polish. Why? Because it scratches easier than a Honda, but resists polishing like an Audi, plus my polish gums up on the paint if it got too hot, so it was quite a challenge. I seriously thought about whipping about my Makita for this one, but decided against it.

Anyways, enough about the car, time for some pictures!

Before: The whole car pretty much looked like this

my only tip would be to move your operation into the garage, and not polish in the sun...

what machine did you use...

CU2MIKE

His garage was full of boxes and what not (it was more of a storage for him and his family than a garage), so I had no choice but to do it on his driveway.
Machine used was my Griot's 6 inch ROP. (Random Orbital Polisher)

AZuser

maybe pick up an EZ UP tent for these types of situtions?
